2018 Compensatory Picks

[Leeroy Jenkins PhD]

Here is the breakdown for our 2018 compensatory picks.  I find this stuff extremely interesting, if you don't, then don't read past this point.  

For starters, Tolbert and Soliai will not count as they were released, not UFAs. Similarly, Corey Brown is a RFA who was not tendered, so whatever contract he receives will not count. For this same reason, WR Charles Johnson, who was a RFA not tendered, will not count in the equation. 
 

Panthers signed to other teams who will count in our favor:
Ted Ginn Jr (3,650,000 APY) 6th round
A.J. Klein (5,000,000 APY) 6th round
Mike Remmers (6,000,000 APY) 5th round

 

Contracts currently counting against our compensation pick: 
Matt Kalil (11,100,000) 3rd round
Captain Munnerlyn (5,250,000) 6th round
Julius Peppers (3,500,000) 6th round
Russell Shepard (TBD)
Mike Adams (TBD)

 

 

Potential players who could be signed and contribute to our chances (if signed for more than 900K APY):
Chris Scott
Michael Griffin
Kyle Love
Leonard Johnson
Ryan Wendell
Teddy Williams

 

If 3 or more of these players sign with other teams for more than 900K APY, we could look at picking up a 7th rounder, but those chances are slim. This would also assume we are done bringing in players. 


Gettleman chose to go all-in with free agency this off-season and we will likely not be receiving any additional compensatory picks in 2018.  It could be argued that making sure we received our 3rd round compensation for Norman hindered our ability to maneuver FA last year.

Ginn got a 3 year deal so his is $3.67M APY

I don't think DG was focused on compensation picks for next year after he got Jerry up in his ear yelling for him to do something while dropping Bojangles biscuit crumbs on his shorts that were sitting by his nipples!

Raiders: 5,5,6,6,7,7

Once we signed Kalil 2018 comp picks are off the table. We didn't have enough people who might leave. It's also a reason why there's no chance we weren't going to keep the tag on Short. I just hope we extend our guards soon.

I would agree with this except compensations picks are cancelled on a 1:1 basis regardless of round. So we bring in 5 players who qualify yet lose 6, we still get a pick even if the APY is drastically uneven.  It will just be a late rounder.
