I guess it very much depends. If they are actively shopping him, than yes, it could. But they don't need to actively shop him. I am sure managers call them all the time and they can just smartly monitor the market and decide based on that. If there are decent offers coming their way they can accept them. I think literally the only bad scenario for them would be to let him go for nothing.
But even if we forget them and they make the simplest thing. They just put him on auction telling everyone, he is for sale. I think the bidding war would be very strong, because he is a good player and because buyer pretty much gets the control over his future with the RFA status.
