Compensation Picks?

It should not be too long before they are announced.

 

It is based on free agents that were lost the prior year. The team needs a net loss of free agents and the values are based on how they did with the new team. The best values would give a pick at the end of the 3rd round.

Thanks!, any idea where I could get a list of last year free agents?

I've never understood why the NFL rewards a team for letting their good free agents go or signing crappy ones. Compensatory picks are a strange concept.

 

 

It's not a reward, it's compensation. The Ravens would have paid Adalius Thomas very good money if it wasn't against the rules of the salary cap. The only reason he was let go was they just didn't have the cap room. It's a reward for drafting such a good player and not being able to keep him due to other rules.

Like the man said-chitty rule, as it's called chitty management-I understand the concept-just don't agree with it.

No offense, but that's a pretty weak excuse/explanation. You can keep any player you like. You are responsible for managing your own cap. Why should a team receive 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc round picks inserted in front of other teams that manage their cap well?

I looked in the CBA and it really wasn't explained very well...

 

Section 2. Number of Choices and Eligibility:

(a) The Draft shall consist of seven rounds, with each round consisting of the same number of selection

choices as there will be Clubs in the NFL the following League Year, plus a maximum number of additional

Compensatory Draft Selections equal to the number of Clubs then in the League, with such Compensatory Draft Selections reserved for Clubs losing certain Unrestricted Free Agents. Each Draft shall be held between February 14 and May 2, on a date which shall be determined by the Commissioner.

 

 

Section 10. Compensatory Draft Selections: The rules and procedures regarding Compensatory Draft

Selections set forth in Section 2 above shall be as agreed upon by the NFL and the NFLPA.
