His contract expires, thus the team in possession of his contract (aka rights) has the option of using the various tagging mechanisms to either retain him or receive compensation provided he has not already been tagged three times as was collectively bargained.
This is the same way the Patriots and Ravens will trade for, or claim off of waivers, a guy with an expiring contract who they have no intent to re-sign in order to rent their services in the short term and still get a compensatory pick when that player leaves.
Not sure, just repeating what I heard.
Fwiw, it was either Lance or Ken Broo on 700. They had made mention that Green wouldn't be eligible for the tag if he were traded in his final year. I don't think they were certain but this topic did come up. (Trading him and then resigning him)
Could be built into the CBA for vets, who knows. I'm not at all sure. Dont want to state it as fact like J24 has. Its really all a moot point anyways because 32 year old guys never get tagged to begin with.
