That consideration is not automatic.

Rookie criteria in question:

Teams that choose to register as a veteran would not be eligible for the above listed Rookie incentives and recognition.

(emphasis mine) 2904 obviously exercised their continuation option, so they are not a rookie. In other words: don't expect to get rookie points for them.
