Where is Beef when you need him? What are the rules for acquiring comp picks? Does anyone have it down to a science like Beef did? I am wondering who can predict (with accuracy) this tears comp picks. (Especially related to Kansas City).
I know there is some formula that takes into account signings vs players lost. There may be others factors involved. Maybe, its on the league site if not Use the google.
From an article by John Clayton: First, a review of how compensatory picks work. Under the NFL's collective bargaining agreement, teams that lose more or better "compensatory" free agents than they acquire in a year are eligible to receive compensatory draft choices. No team can receive more than four. The choices range from the third to the seventh rounds, and they are all positioned at the bottom of the round. The NFL Management Council determines the number and value of the compensatory picks, and it guards the secrecy of its compensatory formula like Coke guards its secret recipe. This much is known: The NFL formula is based on salary, playing time, postseason awards and the net of free agents lost versus free agents signed.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (The Return of the Raider)</div><div class='quotemain'>I was hoping that it wasnt as complicated as BCS rankings.</div> Its probably more complicated but the NFL has the common sense not to make it public knowledge. Both formulas IMO would probably cause Charlie Eppes to scratch his head. :surrender:
