2024 comp pick update

[Nephilim17]

To be clear, trades don't factor into this right?

Correct.

Yep! Neither do players who were "released" out of an existing contract.  

[MrEpsYtown]

You could still add released players and it would not count towards the formula. I could see an add or two there. 

 

In theory, you could add

 

Bobby Wagner or Zach Cunnigham or Myles Jack

Frank Clark or Leonard Floyd

Michael Brockers or Al Woods

 

I'm guessing OBJ doesn't count as he is a UFA for two years, but I am not 100% on that.

I'd rather have a free chili dog and beer!

Well nevermind. They just signed David Edwards. 

[Nephilim17]

One more question please:

If a free agent is signed but then cut before the season starts or early in the season, does that factor in?

Over the Cap updates it after the NFL awards their picks.  They more or less, change their website to make it match the exacts.

 

When awarding compensatory picks, the NFL uses a formula that accounts for a player’s average salary per year (APY), snap count and postseason awards. The exact specifics of the formula are confidential, but we do know it also takes into consideration a player’s history of playing time (or lack thereof).

I checked their projections against the 3rd and 4th rounders for 2023 and they were spot on.

I doubt he signed for more than $2M/year.  So they're still good.

Beane already checking out the draft eligibility for the 2024 defensive ends with that 3rd 

[MrEpsYtown]

I know we make fun, but it is way easier to give up a pick or two for DHop if you know you have an extra coming.

I believe so, but it's hard to understand.  It seems to me that if a player is cut it would depend on if his guaranteed money made him eligible.

The only thing dumber than the multitude of "Edmunds sucks" threads are the "comp pick warrior" threads.

Pretty sure no ones knows the rules of the comp formula, so not sure why so much time is spent over it.

 

Every year there has been situations that go against the "formula"

It's true that the comp pick rules are not publicized by the league, but by observing the patterns over the years, there are observers who are pretty good at projecting who is likely to get comp picks.

For those who "don't understand the comp formula" it's really easy:

 

1) If you lose a valuable Free Agent (Tremaine Edmunds) that gets paid top of market value, you get a comp pick for them.

2) You can only receive this comp pick if you LOSE more "qualified free agents" than you gain.

3) A "qualified free agent" is a player that is not a free agent because he was cut AND his salary needs to be above a certain level (this year about $2.5M).

(Thus, free agents can be signed and "not qualify" because they were either cut or their salary is low)

 

If you spend all day on this message board and still can't put these 3 things together or you can't understand why people want free 3rd round picks... you probably shouldn't post your opinion on it.

I always thought that if a free weighs the same as a duck, and floats, then a comp pick is awarded to the patriots…, or was that the fee agent was burned, I always forget,

Probably be traded to move up 1 spot for a DB

I wouldn't mind the next Dawson Knox

Might as well learn and use the compensatory pick system. We are going to need as many cheap backups and contributing rookies as possible over the next couple of years.

 

Hopefully the ability to land more picks, evaluate and draft well, and then “coaching up” will be stronger too.
