I don't know... I think its incredibly unlikely that a team would not do anything necessary (including spending an asset to get rid of another contract, if necessary) to match a below market or market value contract for a young and good RFA player. It seems like it would take some very extraordinary circumstances for an offer sheet to ever really work for the offering team.
