How I understood your post is that you don't want to pay this free agent now so you can have the money to pay a free agent later...
The only way the trade makes sense is what someone (drake20) said earlier in this thread. We have a narrow widow because of Drew Brees. I understand that argument, although I think it's a bad way to run a team from a GM aspect. The good teams find a way to compete while getting younger.

Who is left in FA this year to spend the money on? That ship has come and gone.
Where are we still weak on this team right now? CB, rush end, and LB.
Being that there weren't many top rush end options in FA that was always a need to be filled in the draft. We got a guy that showed promise one year, and brought back Tapp. Kik is also coming back from injury.
We tried to fill LB in FA. We'll see how that plays out as we didn't get any studs, just guys that play hard and have started.
We brought back Moore but there are so many injury question marks that we need another sure fire starter. A draft pick is NEVER a sure fire starter. I don't care how deep it is or how good player x is supposed to be.
We need a starting corner now. There is zero guarantee a rookie would start over Moore, Breaux, Williams, or even Crawley.
And if we are saving the money for next year then I have to ask why with Brees in his last year and basically threatening to jump ship if we miss the playoffs again?
We have the money now with no FAs to spend it on. May as well get someone that will definitely start for us, has proven to be good in man coverage (doesn't matter the scheme; you are either good in man coverage or you aren't, levels of gray aside), and is a winner.
