I don't think it matters either way, but it should be clarified in the rules one way or the other.

A lot of little things have been missed in the rules. From a precident standpoint, I'm pretty certain that in the past that players coming off year 3 and into year 4 were automatically promoted to Active Roster unless the owner took premptive action to do otherwise. Thus if you don't want them on your active roster, you better cut/trade them before the deadline date when you can do so without penalty in most cases.
Think about it, if they have additional years on their contract, why would they just go null and void if not activated. They lose their TS eligibilty, but they're still on the roster unless cut. It only makes logical sense.
The fact that they were handled as such in the past just adds to it being a defacto rule based on precedent.
