If a player is not bid on before the close of the RFA period then the originating team gets him at the tender price. Teams CANNOT bid on their own RFA's.
RFA's will be considered SOLD if a bid survives 48 hours without being increased.
Once a RFA bid is won by another franchise, the original team tendering the RFA contract will have three 3 days (72 hours) to match that offer. If the tendering team declines to match, they will receive a compensatory pick based on the following chart:
-----------------------------------------
The Match/Decline part is 72 hours...the offseason UFA and inseason FA give extra time on Fri/Sat bids...
UNLESS there was a rules change/update I missed...could happen...

Clearly I'm getting forgetful now that I'm in my 50's! I can't keep any of the deadlines straight in my head!
