Is it the compensation received if another team signs them?
Transitional Free Agents (TFA)
A transition player designation gives the club a first refusal right to match an offer sheet given to the player by another club. To designate a transition player, the club must offer a minimum of the average of the top 10 salaries of the previous year at the player's position, or a 20 percent salary increase, whichever is greater. If the player does not get an offer, then he must play for the transition offer. If the player gets an offer, then his previous team has seven days to match the offer or lose the player. If they do not match the offer, the previous team gets no compensation.
Franchise Free Agents (FFA)
A franchise player is offered a minimum of the average of the top five salaries at his position in the previous season, or a 20 percent salary increase, whichever is greater. This type of franchise player may negotiate with other clubs. His original club has seven days to match the offer and retain the player, or receive two first-round draft choices as compensation if the original club elects not to match.
Exclusive Franchise Free Agents (EFFA)
The second type of franchise player is offered a minimum of the average of the top five salaries at his position computed on April 15th at the end of restricted free agency, or a 20 percent salary increase, whichever is greater. This type of franchise player may negotiate with other clubs. Other clubs cannot negotiate with exclusive franchise players.

Well since this is the case, if there is a new CBA and room under the cap, I wouldn't mind trying to steal Hutchinson.
I like Dock(Steady Eddy
) but our line would be up there with KC's if we got him. Then Dock would be one of the best back-up Guards in the league if we re-signed him(That how RFA's work right?)Seattle saved a little less than $600,000 of cap room by making Pro Bowl left guard Steve Hutchinson a transition player instead of a franchise.
Why would you not Franchise this guy to make sure he wasn't offered another contract without receiving compensation?
Seattle might be worse off in the cap then us

Both options would give Seattle the right to match any offer Hutchinson might receive in free agency and the plan is to match any offer made. This way Hutshinson can hit the market on the limited bases (or Seattle is letting some other team make the deal for them)

Is this common?
What if some team offers him something you can't match; you are screwed?
I'm just saying an extra $600,000 and no team is going to go after him.
I get what you are saying about letting another team make an offer and matching it, but what if you can't?
Just seams like a dumb move to me, but then I tell myself this is not my job and these guys have to know what they are doing right?
