Im sure most of the other teams in the league try to keep the guys they cut, unless they see a guy they really coveted in the draft released by another team.
This.
First of all the guys that a team drafts and signs as free agents are the ones that they valued more than other teams did. Then once they have worked with these players for weeks installing their system they value them even more.
From time to time a guy will switch teams, but usually teams go after their own players first.
