RFA is similur to franchise tag.
If he player doesn't sign he can't play until next season.

Free Agency officially begins on February 27. For RFAs, the period officially ends on April 17. The deadline for old clubs to exercise the Right of First Refusal to RFAs is April 24. For UFAs (including Franchise players and Transition players), who have been given a tender offer from their prior team, the period officially ends on July 22 or the first day of training camp -- whichever is later.
Got that from
Ask The Commish
Which was dated Jan. 2009.
It makes sense that there is a time period. A team makes a qualifying offer, and if nothing better comes along then that player plays the next season for said qualifying offer.
