To be honest, you dont' see many discounts given to any team by true FAs. We got Rosevelt Covlin for less than the Arizona Cardinals were offering, but that seemed more the exception than the rule.
Pats offered as much as the Ravens for Derrick Mason, and he took the Ravens back in, errr, '05 or '06 offseason. Before we had Moss/Welker. I seem to remember his wife preferring Baltimore or somesuch.
The big thing is exactly what Reerun said -- be prepared to see fan favorites allowed to leave via FA. It's a bitter pill.
