Is this Legal?

As the saying goes, a man is only as good as his word, and Richard Murphy is eager to see if the adage is true.

The former LSU and Rayville running back said he has a verbal commitment he will be picked up by the Jacksonville Jaguars for the 2011-12 season, but with the current lockout situation still unsettled, Murphy has no proof.

Is a Verbal Agreement with UDFAs really against the rules? Looks like the Jags did it with Richard Murphy.

Officially they are not part of the nfl. They didnt get drafted and their is no free agency in place for them go into. Thats what I think, but what do I know lol.

There is rules that teams are not allowed to have any contact with Undrafted Free Agents period.
