Taken from the website realgm.com via The new york daily news, an article about Rudy Gay.
"He is a restricted free-agent, which means Memphis can match any offer sheet he signs with another team."
Is the use of which incorrect here? MGMAT SC says that which, when preceded by a comma must always refer to the thing immediately before the comma, and the thing referred to must be a noun, and must not be a person. i Know that free agent is a noun, and I think this sentence is correct, but am not sure.

which is a relative clause pin down the nouns they modify and follow it with a necessary but not essential information.
the necessary info. is which means Memphis can match any
does it have something to do with the fact that the use of which means is explaning the term free agent ?

in this sentence, which modifies "restricted free agent". now, the fact that he is a restricted free agent means Memphis can match any offer. so i am not sure if his status as a restricted free agent, and the term "restricted free agent" are close enough to consider them the same. [/u]
