Sam Hurd wasn't among the four players who received one-year restricted tenders Tuesday, but that doesn't mean his five-year stay in Dallas is done.
What it means right now is Hurd can sign anywhere he wants once (if?) the free-agent signing period begins. And if the next CBA follows the previous CBA's unrestricted free agent requirement of four accrued seasons, the five-year veteran would be a UFA anyway.
For that matter, so would Doug Free (first- and third-round tender), Stephen Bowen (second-round tender) and Jason Hatcher (second-round tender). All have at least five years in the league, too, rendering their restricted designations meaningless...
