If they leave their previous team the team that signs them can do so without having to award the previous team compensation. » Restricted Free Agents (RFA) - Players with three years of NFL experience. Like an unrestricted free agent they are free to negotiate with any team however the current team has the right to match any offer and if they do so they retain the rights to the player. Failure to meet the offer means the player is awarded to the new team but the new team must give the old team compensation in the form of draft picks.

Quester74 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 i am too, i just hope he's still there. ive said before that every year there is a player i reeeeally want the bills to take and he always gets snatched a couple picks before we have a chance. AJ Hawk, Roy Williams, etc. Maybe that's because we covet players that are valued a couple spots ABOVE where we pick, rather than a couple spots BELOW where we pick. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
