okay, the discussion might go as follows

- let's say you really need a starting free safety.

- you might draft , you might trade, you might get RFA, or UFA.

If you draft, likely take 2-3 years to develop as a good starter.

So, trade, RFA, or UFA if you need a starter.

If you get an UFA who is really good, he will want top money, many teams will be bidding on him, say $8mm or atleast $5MM plus some bonus for signing and several years.

If you get a RFA from another team who was say drafted in sixth round, you could make him an offer for say $3mm, a big raise , as he is likely only make 750k. If his current team doesn't match you have a good starter with expereince for 3MM per year and a sixth round draft pick.

or something like that.
