A look at 2017 Compensatory Picks (Updated 5/19)

[top dawg]

Damn, I missed the Nortman signing. 

I won't miss those shanks though...

J/k (kinda)

So apparently Gettleman knows what he is doing.  Only one of our current FA acquisitions actually counts in the compensatory pick calculation. 

If Fernando Velasco was given a large enough contract by Buffalo, Carolina may see a late compensatory pick in 2017. 

Still have a number of FAs on the market. They must sign before June 1st in order to count towards Comp picks.

Have to question if Harper and Cotchery would be eligible to net us a comp pick. Their contracts didn't expire, they were voided.

They would.

For my understanding and those reading the thread, would you expound on the reason why Harper and Cotchery would net us a comp pick while Dwan Edwards and Nate Chandler, whose contracts also did not expire naturally, would not?

[Leeroy Jenkins PhD]

As of now, this nets us a 7th round pick.

Harper and Cotchery had voidable years in their contracts, meaning when voided, their contracts expired like any other UFA.  Edwards and Chandler were released.  Their contracts were active when they were terminated.

Thanks for the info, Doc

Wouldn't be surprised if he played one more year down in NOLA

If you're going by Overthecap's estimates, while they do have the value as a 7th round pick they also have it ranked 34th. Of course, only the top 32 actually get picks. 

That said I don't understand why Velasco ($965,000) wouldn't cancel out Gradkowski ($1,050,000) instead of Nortman ($2,200,000). Seems like the former two should actually cancel out, and Norman's $2.2M should put us near the 6th/7th round line, or at least move us into the top 32.

I'm not thinking we're going to have much shot at comp picks next year.

Cotchery & Harper I assume are both gone, but I'm not positive they'll be signed by anyone else.  Same with Tillman.  If he's not with us, doubt he'll be with anyone.  Same with Finnegan.

Frank Alexander won't be signed by anyone given that he's suspended through late November.

Green - I know nothing about how he's recovered from injury.  Assume he'll be let go.  Don't know if he's done or not.

Tolbert, Silatolu, Velasco, Nortman - I'm thinking we're quite likely to resign all of them.  If any of these go, these would be the most likely to get us comp picks.

Webb, Love - I consider LOCKS for us to resign.  If for any reason we can't reach a deal, then yes, they would be signed and could help us get comp picks.

Right. we're got getting anything next year and that's fine. It means we didn't lose anyone of significance this offseason.

We're already slated for a 7th and I think we're done bringing in till after the May 12th cut off.

Amini has had a number of visits too.
