Does anybody know how they work. The reason I'm asking is because I was wondering if Gordon has a breakout year are we able to recieve a compnsatory pick, or how does the NFL give them out.
 
compensatory picks are rewarded to teams who lost players during free agency, not players who were cut from the team...if gordon blows up, we get nothing in return.

Not what I wanted to hear cause I kinda think he's gonna have a breakout year.:(
 
How it works is that the Eagles and Patriots somehow get lots of picks, while everyone else is stumped.
 
Compensatory picks are based on the number of free agents a team loses in relation to the number of free agents it gains......AND the quality of the free agents lost/gained.

If you lose more qualifying FAs than you gain then you get compensatory picks equal in number to the difference between your lost/gained...up to a max of 4. If you gain more than you lose, then you dont get any.
If you are indeed awarded compensatory picks, where they are slotted depends on the quality of the gained FAs vs. the quality of the ones you lost.
"Quality" is determined by factors such as playing time, salary, and post season awards/honors. No compensatory picks are slotted any higher than the 3rd round.

Plus, they have to be signed by July 22nd. Anyone who signs after that date isn't considered for comp picks. That's why the Eagles will get nothing for Corey Simon.
