Hey guys off topic but I have a question about restricted free agents.

If a restricted free agent gets an offer from another team, and his old team matches it, does he have to automatically go with his old team? or can he still sign with the other team that made the offer?

He automatically has to go back to his old team.

When another team wants to sign a restricted free agent, it signs the player to an offer sheet, the principal terms of which the original team is given seven days to match. The offer sheet must be for at least two seasons (not including option years). If the player's prior team also submitted a maximum qualifying offer, then the offer sheet must be for at least three seasons (not including option years). If the player's original team exercises its right of first refusal by matching the principal terms of the offer sheet, the player is then under contract to his original team. If the player's original team does not exercise its right of first refusal within seven days, the offer sheet becomes an official contract with the new team.
