thebandit27 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 No. If you gain as many as you lose, even if one player got $20M, you still can only get a seventh rounder. There's no way they'll be at anything other than a net loss. They stand to lose: Goodwin Gilmore Zach Woods Mills Bryant And then there's the possibility of losing: Tate Hunter Harvin Gragg EJ LorAx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estro Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Good news: Mike Tolbert doesn't count as an addition in the compensatory pick formula, as he was cut by the Panthers last month. For those that don't know players that are cut do not count as additions in the comp. pick formula. So far both Vlad Ducasse & the FB we signed from ATL do count as additions: The Bills better be very careful and not sign more FA than we lose because doing so would cost us a 3rd round comp pick in next years draft (for losing Gilmore). No way I want to risk losing a top 100 draft pick next year because I signed a bum like Vlad Ducasse this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natedawg3535 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) another comp pick gone???? we have 22 UFA and have released another 10 or so.......we need these depth players more then a freakin 6th round comp pick next year.....i love draft picks as much as the next guy but cmon......how bout a GM that actually works the draft board in more ways then just moving up and I dont wanna hear that you need a trade partner......every year bellicheck finds 10 of em and constantly stock piles for the next year.....signing depth Free agents is NOT the problem Edited March 9, 2017 by natedawg3535 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEBills Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Not really, but keep it up. I'm no hater, just realistic. The most important thing for Comp picks is loss vs gain. So we may still get a comp pick bc of Gilmore and the large contract he expects. But this signing and DiMarco will certainly affect our net gain/loss. Without the contract, we don't entirely know. By it'll probably cancel out losing Goodwin to SF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooklynBills Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 How not really? We need to sign like 25 free agents to not get any comp picks. Getting comp picks is purely based on how many guys you sign versus how many guys that you have lost. Then they determine the value if your key guys that you've lost.

3rdand12 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I am still pissed at not keeping Felton. He crushed players. Then i say to self, Juice looks really good though after review. I am On board to bring him in!! But we get this guy from the Falcons?Whales is out to lunch sometimes.who the heck is Vlad the Impaler anyways? My Grandson was going to named Vlad.
