teams that are RFA get qualifing offers from their current teams. The Offer determines what pick compensation teams will have to give up to obtain the player. If you remember a few years back we offered compensation to Jeb Putzier only equal to the round he was drafted in, being a sixth round compensation in Jeb's Case. Where we offerend Lenny Walls a first round compensation qualifing offer, even though he was undrafted.

Compensation in the form of two first round picks, is the franchise tag, the most compensation you can recieve for a RFA is a first, and a third round pick.
