Trading for Andy does have an advantage over waiting for the free agent market.  By trading a draft pick or player for Andy, that team is guaranteed a full year of having an experienced franchise QB, for just $18M+/-

Whereas with the free agents, you have to make a competitive offer and hope that he's a good fit.
