cba fan Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) Found a great site. https://overthecap.com/compensatory-draft-picks-cancellation-chart/ As you will see the Justin Hunter signing we had counting as a FA loss for compensatory picks. But just a completely Billsy thing to happen is, he is one, One!!! spot off from counting as a loss in the calculations. You must rank 977 or better and he ranks 978. EJ manual we had also thought would count and he is further down yet. Edited March 24, 2017 by cba fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Well, not the end of the world but unfortunate... even if hunter counted we'd still be negative. Would be real billsy if that's what cost us a 3rd for Gilmore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilcoam Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Of course, why would the average Bills want a 2018 3rd round compensation pick from the league for losing Gilmore and or 2018 4th round compensation for losing Woods? Apparently we are better off without the compensation Afterall these high profile FA's signings like Holmes, Ducasse, Poyer, and Davis, will turn out to be better long term finds for our Bills Than say lousy future 3rd and 4th round picks And we're elated to be shelling out million dollar to 3 million per year contacts instead of say fixed $500K one's Shall we all do a happy dance? jc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have been a way better way to fill out the roster for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronxbomber21 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I guess losing Zach Brown wouldn't make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pbomb Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Still got til may 9th, after the draft there will be more free agent pickups to fill holes. Bills still got some decent fa out there hopefully they start to get signed, if not its not the end of the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Not sure why they consider Manuel and Hunter to be non-qualifying UFA's. Spotrac has then as UFA's. And contract size and player performance matter as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonborn10 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 The formula is a NFL secret so not sure I believe Hunter and Manuel dont cpunt. Also not sure the dead Ine is May 9th. I've read they count right up until training camp. Also what if EJ plays 5 games next year because Carr has a set back. I still think it is too early to tell. People should care but it is not the end of the world if they dont get an extra pick. I want to win now not worry about 2018 draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Actually I can see how Hunter might not count, since the Bills picked him up mid-season (which is also the reason Michael Floyd wouldn't count for the Cheaters). As for EJ, I suppose that a player who doesn't have his option picked-up could be considered to "cut" and thus not count, but I'm not buying it.

jlgarsh Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Didn't Hunter score 4 TDs? That alone should make him rank higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An untendered RFA doesn't count either I believe because you chose to relinquish his rights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's miss out on free agency every year so we can get mid round draft picks the next year. That'll make the upcoming season awesome. Get a grip guys.

A lot of free agents can be 6 of one or half dozen of the other - so if you sign guys that don't qualify in FA or come training camp let ties go to keeping an expiring contract suddenly you can be just as active but also get free picks!!

You can still pick up free agents and get compensatory picks every year. Well, the smart front offices can, which eliminates us. The same posters here that think this is just about comp picks are the same people that start the "Is the stadium built on a cursed burial ground??" posts every December.
