Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Leonard Johnson is the lowest graded CB available according to pro football focus . Well done.
Pbomb Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Given that Whaley just forfeited 3 3rd round comp picks with these signings, it's probably going to be much easier to fit all 90 players under the cap.only gilmore would get a third so not sure where you are getting 3, and only johnson will count against the comp pick.Can already see this turning into a crying about comp picks thread
wppete Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 I have never heard of any of these guys. They must be terrible. I haven't either.
BrooklynBills Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 only gilmore would get a third so not sure where you are getting 3, and only johnson will count against the comp pick. Can already see this turning into a crying about comp picks thread I don't think johnson counts actually. He was not on active roster until mid year.
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Leonard Johnson is the lowest graded CB available according to pro football focus . Well done. ...quite the ringing endorsement............ Bills signed CB Leonard Johnson, formerly of the Panthers. Johnson logged 436 underwhelming snaps for the Panthers in 2016. The Bills' secondary has been gutted following the losses of Stephon Gilmore (signed with New England) and Nickell Robey-Coleman (released). New Bills coach Sean McDermott was Johnson's defensive coordinator in Carolina last season. Related: Panthers Source: Adam Caplan on Twitter Mar 17 - 4:23 PM
Wayne Cubed Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) I don't think johnson counts actually. He was not on active roster until mid year. Hmm idk, Akiem Hicks was traded to the Pats* from The Saints on Sept 30th of 2015, he didn't even play all 16 games of 2015 as a Patriot... and he counted as a lost player for the 2017 draft comp picks when he became a FA.

thebandit27 Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 I'm going to guess that--at worst--only Johnson counts as a CFA: "In order to qualify for the comp equation, a player must have been a true Unrestricted Free Agent whose contract had expired or was voided after the previous season (i.e., he cannot have been released by his old team); he must sign during the UFA signing period (which ended July 27 last year); if he signs after June 1[*], he must have been tendered a June 1 qualifying offer by his old team; his compensatory value or contract value must be above a specific minimum amount; and he cannot have been permanently released by his new team before a certain point in the season (which seems to be after Week 10) or, possibly, before getting a certain amount of playing time, unless he was claimed off waivers by another team." http://overthecap.com/the-basics-and-methodology-of-projecting-the-nfls-compensatory-draft-picks/ Most likely, none of them count.
John from Riverside Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 "gutted" Such a strong word We lost Gilmore yes....Robey was getting outplayed by a Seymore by the end of the year. Im thinking we are gonna taking two corner's in this corner rich draft.

The NFL officially lists it as this: "Under the rules for compensatory draft selections, a team losing more or better compensatory free agents than it acquires in the previous year is eligible to receive compensatory draft picks. The compensatory picks will be positioned within the third through seventh rounds based on the value of the compensatory free agents lost. Compensatory free agents are determined by a formula based on salary, playing time and postseason honors. The formula was developed by the NFL Management Council. Not every free agent lost or signed by a club is covered by this formula." Edited March 17, 2017 by Wayne Cubed

Samwell Tarly Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Major.jpg "This guy right here is dead." -"Cross him off, then." As Major League references go, I was thinking of the Japanese groundskeepers discussing the new players....
K-9 Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 you almost got me on this one. I get at least three every time, though.
Mad Mike Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 As Major League references go, I was thinking of the Japanese groundskeepers discussing the new players.... Both are acceptable and applicable. They're still sh*tty.
