Teams with CFAs signed
  • Miami: Ryan Fitzpatrick signed a $5.5 million APY contract, but that happened before the team traded for Josh Rosen during the draft. Should Rosen beat out Fitzpatrick in camp, the Dolphins could pick up a 7th round comp pick for either Brandon Bolden or Frank Gore–or to preserve higher comp picks (see below). Miami would have to incur an additional $1.5 million cap and cash hit in 2019 in order to do so, however. Trading Fitzpatrick does not help for comp pick purposes, as they would still be charged with Fitzpatrick as a CFA gained.
Teams with CFAs lost
  • Miami: As mentioned, the contracts of both Bolden and Gore make neither a lock to make the rosters of their new teams. If one of them get cut (or the 36 year old Gore retires), the Dolphins would be at risk for losing their 5th round comp pick for Cameron Wake. If both of their contracts were terminated, they could lose their 3rd rounder for Ja’Wuan James and be shut out of comp picks entirely.
 
Although that report is a bit scary considering what would happen if both Gore and Bolden were cut, I'm confident they'll both be important depth for both teams they play for. Bolden signed a 2 year contract, not sure he's going anywhere. Gore showed he's ageless and think he'll be the main RB off the bench. But you never know.
 
The Patriots are expected to have 14 picks in the 2020 NFL draft, which includes about 5 or 6 comp picks, if my memory serves me correctly. They do it every year.
 
Told ya not to get all excited for comp picks just because a player leaves a signs a big contract.

Buuuut, I don't know how accurate this guy is honestly.
 
If signing Fitzpatrick somehow contributes to losing the 3rd round pick we should have gotten for James, that would be a fine how do you do.
 
Never bought the line we were getting double picks except for the 1st rd. Only happens for the Pats. The rest of the league usually gets screwed. Just the way of things where competitive balance is more of a talking point than a reality. The league is more interested in teams with a bigger viewing audience than actual parody.
