Can the renouncement be renounced? In other words, can a team un-renounce a player and then sign him using a Bird exception?
Only in one specific circumstance — when they renounce one or more of their players in order to create enough cap room to sign another team’s restricted free agent, but the restricted free agent’s original team matches the offer sheet and keeps him. If that happens, the team can rescind the renouncement. There are a couple exceptions to this — they can’t rescind a renouncement if doing so takes them from below the salary cap to above it; or if they are above the cap and rescinding the renouncement takes them farther above the cap than they were before the renouncement. See question number 36 for more information on restricted free agency.
