I think you do want to trade her nearer to FA. The value goes down some but you can still get good prospects for her. You do want to actually have a competitive team and unless you're stacked at her position she does seem to be a quality option.
If you're otherwise not competitive trading her for prospects (and/or picks if you have that turned on) can be a good strategy. This helps you secure a higher draft pick by being less competitive while also getting more prospects in trade.
I find the very best teams in OOTP are always good as they reach a critical mass and can always trade veterans for prospects at appropriate time to keep a strong farm system. The next best teams are very good some years and very bad other years. The lower tier of teams tend to always be in the middle. If you're not able to get to the always good tier, it's worth playing for the good-bad tier rather than the always middling tier. High first round picks matter a lot so you want to get some of them as a way to improve your team if you're not consistently dominant.
