Seems pretty stupid that he can’t be signed to a new contract if he is traded. I guess it encourages the team tagging him to get a deal done and it reduces his trade value in a way that prevents a team from squatting on his rights. Still, there are plenty of teams who’d probably sign him to a contract north of $50m in guarantees. If he gets injured this year, he’d be leaving around $35m on the table because of this rule.
