That how you get deals done.
But...rookie GM in Buffalo. Maybe he’s negotiating with 7 different teams.
If that’s the case, buckle up. It’s gonna be awhile.

That's one way to do it. A bake-off.
But I suspect a lot of deals in pro sports don't get done that way. One and only offer?
I'd expect a lot more negotiation and back and forth. Find out the teams interested, narrow the field, then look at their rosters and system and tell them what it will take to get a deal done. Hold firm until you receive the value you think you can get by being patient.
