If a minor league player does not get placed on the "40 man" and is not selected in the rule V draft(rule V has nothing to do with 5 years- college drafted players are eligible to be selected in rule V draft after their 3rd year of minor league contract, HS drafted players may be selected after their 4th year), they still are under their original minor league contract and at the end of the minor league contract's term(generally 6 years) they may elect to become minor league free-agents or enter into another contract with their original team.

This is my understanding based upon the minor league contract my son signed when drafted out of HS. As I originally stated, some players are able to negotiate a minor league contract that is not "standard", but they are in the minority.
