Harrison Phillips to Vikings, 3 year 19.5 million
ExWNYer replied to BillsMafi$'s topic in The Stadium Wall
A compensatory pick is not automatically awarded to the team just because a UFA signed elsewhere. Comp picks are calculated based on a net loss formula. Players cut by a team who sign elsewhere do not count towards this formula: "Clubs that lose to other Clubs a greater number of CFAs than they sign or acquire from other Clubs shall be eligible to receive a Compensatory Draft Selection in the College Draft to be held in the following League Year subject to the provisions set forth below." https://overthecap.com/the-basics-and-methodology-of-projecting-the-nfls-compensatory-draft-picks/ -

Some might even say he was...horrible. -
Buffalo Bills are reportedly interested in DE Chandler Jones

So these people are literally keeping up with the Joneses. 🤔 -
It's easy now to see how good teams have an advantage in free agency

No matter how much 'extensive research' Beane did, there was still an element of luck involved. The Browns took Mayfield first overall and, whether or not it was a smokescreen, there were some reports floating at the time that they might be interested in making Allen their pick. Then the boneheaded Neanderthal, Dave Gettleman, inexplicably decided that it was somehow prudent to take "eventual Hall of Fame RB" Saquon Barkley over a QB at 2 and the Jest decided to take Sam Darnold at 3. At that point two QBs were already off the board and a 3rd (Allen?) should have been. Despite all of his research and wheeling and dealing, Beane could only manage to get to the 7th spot. He's on record as saying he wanted to get up to 5th where the Broncos were but the Broncos told him they would only move out of 5 if "their guy" was gone. Once the Browns took Denzel Ward at 4, Denver's guy was still there (Bradley Chubb) and they weren't moving. Had he been gone and they decided to swap with the Bills, it would have cost Beane another #1. I think he's a good GM overall but he also got a little lucky. As with any deal that works out, there is always luck involved. -

Sounds like he's trying to play without the cheat codes...

Yeah, he was chasing the money no matter where it led him. Got his money and landed with an up and coming franchise in the process. Good for him. He's better in man coverage than zone, IMO, and probably better fits their D anyway. Chargers are loading up while they still have Herbert on that rookie deal and are trying to cash in now.

Yeah, I love Joe but that's a big swing and a miss, huh? 😁 Assuming he got that figure from Spotrac?

Don't know if this was already posted upthread but, if so, I missed it and apologize for the duplication. Joe Noteboom back to the Rams. Noteworthy because he was an Aaron Kromer guy. https://www.nfl.com/news/rams-re-signing-ot-joe-noteboom-to-three-year-deal-worth-up-to-47-5m

Cardinals backup QB Colt McCoy re-signs with Arizona...2 years, $7.5 million with $6 million fully guaranteed (Schefter).

Yep. McClain mentioned that, as well, with the path to the Super Bowl being much 'cleaner' via the NFC.
-
Rams C Brian Allen re-signs with LA...3 years, $24 million (Schefter).

This is more than likely the case. Watson has to approve any deal due to his no trade clause. Houston Chronicle reporter John McClain, who has been covering Houston football since the 'Dark Ages', was on Sirius/XM NFL Radio yesterday and he speculated that Watson would end up with either the Panthers or Saints with the Seahawks as a darkhorse although he questioned New Orleans' ability to make it happen due to their cap situation. He said because Watson grew up in the South and played all of his football to this point in the South (Pee Wee, HS, college, & pro) he was most comfortable there and just couldn't see him approving a deal to a northern team like the Browns or Stillers. He also said that Watson would probably feel most comfortable and would be better accepted in Carolina because of his status at Clemson and the public's familiarity with him. Basically, Watson might receive less backlash from that fan base than most others. Unfortunately for the Texans, most of the leverage in this situation is held by Watson.

These are reported 'agreements in principle' made by player agents and GMs. The new 2022 league year starts at 4:00 PM Wednesday and these deals cannot actually be signed until that time unless they are with the player's 2021 team, hence the stupid 'legal tampering' moniker. Teams are not allowed to talk to these players until the new league year begins (wink, wink, nod, nod) so everything is done thru engagement with the agents. Most of these are formalities at this point but they are not final until signed. A few years back, Minnesota's UFA LB Anthony Barr had a deal in place to go to the Jest during this window and backed out at the last second and re-signed with the Vikes.

Maybe he got confused in his haste to play with Josh Allen...
