Lothar Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 If Keenum is cut by the Texans, we apparently lose the Edmunds 3rd round pick. We need to either ensure the Texans keep him or we need to trade for him - Joe B says 6th or 7th but he might actually be worth a 4th to us in that scenario. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 (edited) I did ponder this the other week think it was with @Beck Water. It definitely used to be the case that the guys that were qualifying FAs for the purposes of the comp pick formula had to actually make the rosters they signed to (without being cut) and make it a certain number of weeks (think it was 6). If they stay on that contract having been traded to another team they still count. Wasn't sure if that was still the case but it appears so. In which case definitely woth one of our extra 6ths to trade for a better backup and keep our extra 3rd.

Are you guys suggesting that if WE trade for Keenum and have him on OUR roster until week 6 or so he still qualifies and we keep 3rd round comp pick? That is wild if true.

That is wild if true. Yep. Certainly used to be the way it worked. If Keenum is cut we have lost to pick. I think that is clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickelCity Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Wow. News to me. If he's at risk of being cut this seems like a no brainer. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Agreed, and Kyle sucks. I’m not normally negative about our players, but he’s a liability. Thankfully Josh almost never misses a game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beane butchered the comp pick opportunity with Gilmore. He can't screw this up too. An extra 3rd round pick is one of the ways you retool while on a franchise history QB contract.
