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

They lose one of the best backs in football burn their first round pick on a back and it makes you sick that they get a third??

 

I still would have rather had Edge and my first round pick back than Addai and a comp 3rd that is basically a 4th..

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

last time I checked they didn't lose Alexander or LT

 

What I'm saying is that they lost a player who didn't play better for the new team, and are then awarded with a 3rd just for losing him. 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.

Colts did not sign any UFAs............this is why they will get a 3rd (or maybe 4th)

I understand how it works, I'm just saying personnally I think that the league giving a 3rd to the Colts for losing James is a steal for Indy

 

I'm not a fan of compensatory picks. I don't see why the NFL should award picks to teams for losing FA's and not re-signing others
