OnTheRocks Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 The Bills could lose Jennings and Williams without compensation? Or would they get compensatory draft picks? If so,....how does it work? Would they be able to get more than one draft pick per player? OR is it just one pick? And what round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicBills Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 I'm not 100 percent certain, but I don't think so, at least not from the team that signs them. I believe that since they are both UFA's there is no compensation. The only time I've seen compensation is for RFAs. The league may give the Bills an extra 6th or 7th rounder, but that would probably be about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheRocks Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 well..i know they wouldn't get anything from the teams that potentially sign them. and i think they could get at least a 4th for each if they are starters through the NFL "Compensatory Draft Pick" program thingy.

2003Contenders Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 The NFL has a complicated formula for figuring out compensatory picks based on each team's specific losses and acquisitions of free agents. Guys of JJ's and PW's claiber, assuming they remain starters with whatever team acquires them, could possibly net 3rd round (the maximim) compensation, provided that we don't counter the moves with similar quality starters. From where I stand, I'd rather try to work out fair deals with both of these gusy and keep them rather than hope for compensation picks in 2006.

But a team has to lose more in UFAs than they acquire in FA. So we'd have to lose them both and acquire nobody, pretty much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it all depends on the net sum of who we lost and whom we acquired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 I think the formula additionally considers the performance of the player on his new team. What is not included in the compensatory pick process, are any players who are cap casualties. You do not receive any compensation for them. For last year, the major players(UFA) we signed or lost were....we added Villarial and lost Winfield. Let see what that gets us in terms of a compensatory pick.

Vincent > Winfield, let alone Vincent + Chris V. No extra picks for us IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
