Don’t kill our pastime…. In what other way are we to have fun?

Comp picks are the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen in professional sports. I will die on that hill. You shouldn’t get anything for losing your free agents. You have the opportunity to keep them same as another team has to sign them.

Have the ravens lost so much that they get 3 comp picks? 

 

We joke about the Cheatriots getting comp picks but I think historically the masters of that manipulation have been the Ravens.

[Peace Frog]

Unsurprisingly, the New England Patriots haven't been awarded any compensatory picks for the 2022 NFL Draft.

 

Womp, womp...

They work the system and let contracts expire while signing non qualifying guys

this shiz is stoooooopid! so big damn mystery that nobody understands and can calculate? i trust the league as much as i trust the government

 

We knew last May that we weren't getting any comp picks. And on April 23rd, we'll know exactly how many we are getting in 2023 (not the rounds however).

its actually not hard at all but the mystique surrounding it years ago still gets to people. Did you gain more non cut free agents than you lost. Oh you gained more? No comp pick

 

Did you lose more than you gained? Yes? How many? 2 more? 2 comp picks. How much money did they make? That slots into what round you get as a pick 

 

I havent done a comparison but it feels like we lost more than we signed....

even so far. Players we cut don’t count. So no Williams, Klein when they sign. So far we’re even gained 3 lost 3.

 

Gained

Jones 

Settle

McKissic

 

Lost:

Trubisky

Wallace

Phillips

 

Saffold doesn’t count as he was cut by the Titans

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Dam 9 3rd round picks.  That effectively pushes our late fourth round pick down by almost a 1/3rd of a full round.

If Addison and Hughes sign elsewhere Bills can still add Chandler Jones.  Contract for Wallace was lower than I would have expected. However in addition to the dollar amount, part of the comp pick assessment is how much they play for their new team.  So if both Trubisky and Wallace start, they might net two 4th's?

the pro bowl , contract stuff you heard in the past is a fallacy. The contract only matters for 2 reasons. 
 

1. Alike contracts for gained and lost cancel each other out 

 

2. Remaining players who didn’t get cancel get slotted for a round based on remaining contract size. 
 

hope that makes some sense

Is that true? I know the process is opaque but I thought playing time and performance mattered in determining the value of the comp pick.

when we lost Stephon Gilmore and he went on to be a pro bowler  the next season did we get any pick for him despite getting one of the highest paid CB salaries at the time? The answer is no. It doesn’t matter near as much as people try to make it out

That's because we weren't net negative in free agent signings. You have to be net negative first.  Then and only then does the contract and I still think performance with the new team determine the value of the comp pick.

if you only shoot the messengers (water guns please!) then messengers will only have good news.

Some of those comp picks should be from minority coaching hires, well at least the third rounder for BAL is thanks to David Culley and the 49ers thanks to Robert Saleh. Too bad Frazier didn’t get his HC job so we could’ve received a couple thirds.
