I've always been confused as to how these work.

Will we receive any due to the loss of Penny/Ronnie/W. Allen to injury?
 
I dont think we lost any vetern players to warrant a comp pic , but i hope I am wrong.
 
We lost Goodman and Hill, but signed Wilson and Grove. That's all I can think of at the moment. Drawing blanks. I'm sure others have a better under standing.
 
It has to do with losing player in Fa and then how it affected the team...

Hill and Goodman both left..They have both played really well in Denver

We got Wilson..who has not played very well and Grove has been lights out...

We could end up getting a late comp pick
 
Gibril Wilson doesn't count in the compensatory model. He was cut by the Raiders. Jason Taylor doesn't count either as he was cut by the Redskins. Cameron Wake doesn't count, he was originally released by the Giants. Vonnie Holliday doesn't count as a loss, since we cut him. Samson Satele doesn't count obviously because we traded him.

The compensatory formula model is a closed pool of players that had expired contracts (ie. they were not cut), and switched teams.

Three players left Miami for another team off an expiring contract. They were Andre Goodman, Renaldo Hill and Al Johnson

Three players came to Miami from another team off an expiring contract. They were Jake Grove, Joe Berger and Eric Green.

Eric Green and Al Johnson both never made it out of training camp and onto a 53-man roster. Therefore, they're both tossed out of the pool.

You have the loss of Andre Goodman and Renaldo Hill balancing against the gain of Jake Grove and Joe Berger. Goodman and Grove probably balance out. But Hill signed a 4 year, $10 million contract with $3 million guaranteed, and has started 13 games. Berger signed a 3 year deal probably closer to the veteran's minimum, and has been a backup until the last 3 games when Grove got hurt.

My opinion is the Hill for Berger swap could result in us getting a 6th round selection. But, it also wouldn't surprise me if we got no pick at all.
