Lateral to Another Bank for FT

I signed an offer for an upper MM bank for this summer, but I'm potentially interested in trying to lateral to a BB or boutique for FT. How should I approach the networking process? Would bankers be receptive to my outreach after I tell them I have an offer lined up? Any thoughts, stories, or insights would be very much appreciated.
