He could, nothing stopping him (except for a contract that would need to be bought out).
Question is: Is Froome good enough to beat Wiggins? And would Froome have a team of such strength working for him as Wiggins does in the form of the Sky team?
If Froome wants to increase the odds that he would win the tour himself, he'll be a patient man and inherit an even stronger Sky team in a couple of years. He'll also inherit the additional exposure, advertising and commercial contracts such exposure brings about by staying with Sky.
Froome would be a fool to put his ego above all else and to be hasty when he would be in a much stronger commercial and sporting position staying with Sky and waiting for it to pay back.
