Wut kind of Comp picks are we goin to be looking at after lossing like 15 players to free Agency?


(For those of u who dont kno wut they)
The nfl awards compensary picks to the teams who loose alot of players to free agency......the more starters u loose the higher the pick is, they do this to keep the nfl as even as possible! I belive the pats got a 3rd round comp pick last year!
 
The compensatory picks in this year's draft we be awarded based on last offseason's free agent signings.
 
This is about next year right??

We don't know yet because it depends on how many FA's we sign as well as how many we lose. Amounts are also considered.

Players signed who were cut don't count, like Joey Porter.

You would think our ratio would result in significant compensatory picks, especially if we trade more players and fill our roster with draft picks.
 
This year NE will get 4 compensatory picks add that to the six we still have and that will give us 10. According to Pioli the league keeps changing how they figure out what round you'll get those picks. Also compensatory picks can't be used in trades.

This was Pioli's answer on that question in his chat with WEEI

You have six draft picks, but you have more coming, don’t you?
“We now have six picks and sometime between now and the draft, they’ll be announcing compensatory picks. We anticipate for all the free agents we lost last year that we have another four picks coming to us, compensatory picks. We’re looking at, on draft day, at this point having 10 picks. Four of those picks, compensatory picks, will be picks we get that can not be traded. … We’re projecting those will be anywhere between a fourth [rounder] and sixth [rounder], because they have a very complicated formula that seems to be changing every year in the league office that is based on a number of different factors that include the amount of money that the contract is signed for by the player when they leave through unrestricted free agency, but there is also a component of play-time during the season that is factored in there. We know we’re going to have a seventh and we’re projecting two six’s and just trying to figure out what that David Givens pick will be, as his play time was affected by his injury this year.â€Â

I'm not so sure about that... the intent of the comp picks is teams that lose more free agents than they gain, have a way to make up for it.

I KNOW that Joey Porter won't count as a UFA lost by Pittsburgh because he was cut, but I beleive he DOES count as a UFA signed for the Dolphins when it comes to calculating them out... because when we signed him he was an unrestricted free agent.
 
I read in a previous post that signing cut FAs does not count and thats what NE in specific tries to do in FA to avoid having them count and then benefit from compensatory picks.

We signed 11 and lost 4, so there is about a snowball's chance in hades that we get even one compensatory pick.
Signed: W.Allen, Beasley, Cooper, Goodman, Heinrich, Hill, Hodge, Newman, Pearson, Peelle, Shelton.
Lost: Gilmore, McDougle, Rosenfels, K. Thomas.
