Um, nope. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Practice_squad:

Practice squad players are free agents; they can be signed to any team's 53-man roster at any time during the season. In other words, NFL teams are free to "poach" other teams' practice squads without compensating the teams, with one exception: a team cannot sign another team's practice squad players if they are playing against each other in the immediate future, a restriction that prevents using the tactic solely to steal game plans.

There's no right of first refusal. Other than the "immediate future" restriction, the only requirement is that a PS player is signed to a 53 man squad. Practice squad players are street free agents that get the opportunity to be paid and to practice with an actual NFL organization. Nothing more.
