eSJayDee Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 So far we've signed no one & lost 2 players (Floyd, Davis) who signed pretty decent contracts. Trubisky & Morse don't count either way as they were released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the shape we're in, I'd hope they aren't letting possible picks next year stop them from making acquisitions that can help the team now. We're not in a position roster wise to be focusing solely on mid round picks in a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comp pick discussion is driven by that fact. If Beane sees a deal, he will do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to say that I would hope in the shape we're in with the roster that he wouldn't pass on something that we could do to improve the team now with eyes on the comp formula for next season. Especially with how we were done this year. Edited March 11 by BillsFanForever19 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of the "void years"? https://www.behindthesteelcurtain.com/2023/6/12/23758041/explaining-how-the-nfl-works-part-18-the-compensatory-formula-free-agents-draft-picks-steelers The first step is to determine if a player who signed with a new team is a CFA. First, they must be an unrestricted free agent and not a street free agent. Second, they could not be a player who potentially had more years under contract with the team. If there was a team option that was not exercised, or at any point in their contract a player renegotiated their deal for fewer years, they are not eligible to be a CFAs. If there are void years in a players contract, these do not preclude the player from being a CFA. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Should be a 4th(Davis) & 5th(Floyd). But you're right when you adjust for Goodell screwing us, they'll both be 7th rounders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donuts and Doritos Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Comp picks are fake. Don't count on them. They reviewed this year's again & still kept us & SF at 4th round but gave Cincy a 3rd round. Totally not worth it. No one seems to really understand the supposed "formula", Beane & the experts said it would be a 3rd & planned accordingly. We'll give up talent & end up with a 7th next year. Until they fix it so the process is transparent & everyone can understand it & know what they'll actually get, it's about as real as the Easter bunny and as reliable as Nathan Peterman in the 1st half of a Bills game.
