"The foregoing shall not affect any rights that a Club may have under the Player Contract or this Agreement, including but not limited to the right to terminate the contract, renegotiate the contract, or to trade the player if such termination, renegotiation, or TRADE is otherwise permitted by the Player Contract or this Agreement."

It actually specifically says the team can trade or rescind the offer for that matter.

I think there was also a section in there where a grievance could be filed against the player for signing the tag and said player not making an effort toward negotiations on a long term deal. I'm widely paraphrasing, but I remember reading that part. So, I'm not sure why this part hadn't been discussed. Cousins keeps saying he was open to negotiating with team, but then his camp would say things, like, "We're not interested in negotiating until after the tag is signed." I'm sorry, but I think there's been some very dubious dealings with Cousins' agent on this.
