apuszczalowski Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 So according to that the Bills get nothing and does it given anybody a sick feeling knowing that Indy would get a third for letting James go? Yes he played in all 16 games, but last year I would have taken either of Indy's RB's over James in Arizona, and now they get a third Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still would have rather had Edge and my first round pick back than Addai and a comp 3rd that is basically a 4th.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clumping platelets Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 The key to comp picks: FA losses vs FA gains If a team can allow a player like E. James to walk in FA, not sign any significant FAs to balance his deal with the Cards, and then replace him with a rookie.........all the power to them. BTW: At this point, it's not likely the Bills will get a comp pick next year because Dockery's deal balances out Clements' deal and Walker's deal balances out Fletcher's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the 49ers getting a third for Peterson, and SD for losing Brees because they were both Pro Bowlers last year, but getting a third for losing a RB who played mediocre last year, thats a great deal.

clumping platelets Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 Colts did not sign any UFAs............this is why they will get a 3rd (or maybe 4th) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why the NFL should award picks to teams for losing FA's and not re-signing others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
