Question: Does re-signing a player who's already under contract count as FA signing?. i.e. Lee Evans. unsure.gif

 

Nope - it's entirely based on how teams do in Unrestricted Free Agency: which means that it excludes any signings of players who have been cut, so in 2010, we won't be penalized for signing TO this year. We may well be in line for some compensatory picks next year: we signed Fitzpatrick, Pat Thomas, and Hangartner, (plus non-UFA street free agents TO and Drayton Florence) and lost Melvin Fowler, Duke Preston, Angelo Crowell, and Jabari Greer. Dockery and Royal don't count.

It's funny, but the Pats* lose Samuel, admittedly a star, and then Gay (a nickel back, IIRC) and Stallworth (who'd been bumped out of a starting job by year end) and get a motherlode of picks, while the Steelers lose one of the best OL in the game (Faneca) and a starting LB (Haggans) and get one lousy 5th round pick. The League is so far in Kraft's* pocket it's a joke......

Comp picks are based on players you lose. I don't think we lost anyone of any significance before last season, unless my memory is failing me.

I might be wrong, but I think the comp picks for the players we signed and lost this off season will be awarded at next years draft. I think these ones are for the offseason before the 2008 season. Otherwise we would get about a dozen, since we lost Losman this season (just kidding!).

They should really just get rid of compensatory picks.

 

Seconded. They do nothing but screw over the worst teams in the league. NE* is too cheap to pony up the cash to pay a bunch of their players, so they get rewarded?
