Ah, thanks for clearing that up. I've been posting for a while that you could.
Actually, according the Larry Coon FAQ, you can:
If a qualifying offer is outstanding, the team can withdraw it unilaterally through July 23. It can be withdrawn after July 23 if the player consents, in which case the player is also renounced as a free agent (see question number 41). If a qualifying offer is not outstanding, then a team can relinquish its right of first refusal at any time by providing written notice.

For obvious reasons, I am reluctant to correct nate, so I do it with trepidation and the realization thatI may be misinterpreting the FAQ. But it does look like the team can rescind the offer up until the 23rd.
