Since quarantined and completely confused about why we were signing lower level guys to cancel out the comp picks I did some research.  
Come to find out our FO has not lost their minds.  Probably thanks to Sulimani our CAP specialist we just hired from the Steelers.  

The Comp Pick methods will change with the new CBA in 2021.  

“Under the proposed CBA, that will change. According to the summary provided over the weekend by the NFL Players Association to all players, the system will be revised to exclude “many ‘Core Veterans'” from the equation. Specifically, players who sign one-year deals and who make less than $1.75 million won’t count toward the gains and losses, incentivizing teams to sign those players sooner than later.”

So we are not going to loose a bunch of picks for the lower tier guys.  My guess is that Roberts, Kirkwood, and DeValve will be below that $1.75 mil mark.  So they won’t hurt us.  And Cooper will not count bc he was cut.  

Yes TB cancels out Bradberry for a 3rd.  But Burriss and Weatherly look like 6th round guys who will cancel out Irvin and McCoy.  

So at least will will get the 4th and 5th for Mario and Butler.  And whatever GVR brings.  The only other players that I see is loosing are Cockrell and Daryl Williams that might be over the 1.75  mark.  
 

Bottom line, we will get some assets back from the fire sale

Here is the entire article from Mike Florio. 
 

The compensatory draft system has for years caused teams to adjust their interest in unrestricted free agents, refraining from signing them or delaying the pursuit in order to maximize free-agency losses and to minimize gains. All in the hopes of getting the most possible compensatory draft picks the following year 

Under the proposed CBA, that will change. According to the summary provided over the weekend by the NFL Players Association to all players, the system will be revised to exclude “many ‘Core Veterans'” from the equation. Specifically, players who sign one-year deals and who make less than $1.75 million won’t count toward the gains and losses, incentivizing teams to sign those players sooner than later.

The problem, of course, is that teams will find a way to use that shield for players as a sword against them, making take-it-or-leave-it offers of one-year, $1.75 million deals for lower-level free agents with the “or else” being that they won’t be signed until after the compensatory selection formula shuts off in May. So they’ll have to decide whether to take a $1.75 million bird in the hand or wait for whatever they can get later.

Regardless, this is the first meaningful change to the compensatory draft pick system, arguably since the system was first adopted.

They did this so that these lower level players wouldn’t have to wait u til after the draft when comp picks went away to sign.  It may be why these type of players voted yes on the CBA.  The max of  4 comp picks remains the same.

According to the over the cap the number for the player to not count will be closer to $2.5 million.

I don’t remember Cooper being cut by Arizona at the end of the year. If we paid him more than the minimum then that was dumb, but I doubt we did.

This is actually good news. Do we know how much we paid these guys?

No. Hopefully not over that 1.75.  Roberts was at 2 mil for the Ravens last year.  Not sure about the rest.

That changes every year depending on the contracts given out during the Free Agent period.  The 1.75 number he is stating will always be the same for the life of the current CBA.  The number for the player to not count will change every year depending on the contracts given out.

Neither of the other two made 1.75M last year. They shouldn’t get it this year and Roberts shouldn’t either.

I’m done complaining about comp picks now. This is good knowing the current CBA changes.

I definitely don’t like Teddy signing just because I don’t like the idea of a bridge QB instead of just getting the top pick (Grier is the same as starting Weinke in 2001 or Clausen in 2010).

100% agree. $14M for his 2020 salary is way above his play.

They might as well shop KK around, no point in having him here. 

KK is the only DT on the roster.  I don't think there is any way he is traded.

Good.  I doubt we would have maxed out on all four comp picks anyhow, but a couple would be nice.  I agree though, the 7th round floor was never a set amount, it changed with the market year-to-year.  Since I've been keeping up with it the past several years, I've seen the floor fluctuate from nearly $3 million to about $1.5 million.  The more lucrative the FA market (more big money contracts) the higher the floor.  In a weak FA market, the lower the floor.

We still have a few FAs that may still get picked up.

      [The Athletic] Dane Brugler's 2025 7-round Mock Draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
