Unrestricted free agent
Reed Giordana was a free agent with the Packers.
The first year of free agency in the NFL saw one of the best defensive players in history make a surprising move that helped return the Packers to championship form. White left the Eagles and signed a four-year, $17 million contract with the Packers in 1993.
An unrestricted free agent is free to take the highest offer from whoever offers it. A restricted free agent can shop around for the highest salary. But, the team that owns him has the option to match that highest offer and the player must accept it. If there is no salary cap, the offers to free agents should be significantly higher, especially if a bidding war ensues. But, this will probably be a 1-year offer, since there should be a cap with the new collective bargaining agreement in 2011.

Oakland Raiders, though he is an unrestricted free agent.
No, an unrestricted free agent does not receive any compensation from their former team when they sign with a new team. They are free to negotiate and sign with any team without any restrictions, and their previous team has no rights to receive draft picks or other forms of compensation in return.
UFA means unrestricted free agent, which means that the player can sign a contract with any team
I don't believe we received anything for Hossa because he was an unrestricted free agent.
