Do you have to get equivalent value back, like with a player trade?
No, you can't trade a trade exception for a pick. It's just cap space that can be used to bring in a certain amount of salary via trade without having to go through the over-the-cap trade matching rules.
That said, new trade exceptions are often created in deals using old TEs. For example, when Boston took JRich into a trade exception, Dallas created their own new TE for the value of JRich's contract that they unloaded (less the Moses money). But TEs are technically not part of the trade, at they are solely created and used (or expire) within each franchise without ever changing hands.
