All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Philly.com projects zero compensatory picks for Levitre and Reinhart
Thanks to Miguel@PatsCap.com for pointing out that the new CBA limits the number of compensatory picks to the number of teams in the league (currently 32). As a result Buffalo and Oakland will not receive "net value" picks.
Some teams know how to work the NFL FA system and still get compensatory picks. The Bills are clueless.
If you draft well enough, it winds up working out. Then you don't need to sign FA's and whatever players leave can be replaced by draftees. Which means more compensatory picks.

Re: Philly.com projects zero compensatory picks for Levitre and Reinhart
Geez...one would think that considering how badly our offense crashed and burned, and Tennessee's meteorically shot to the top, one would think losing the very best player in the entire league at that position would garner at least two or three.

...which lets clubs get savings due to the rookie cap, which in turn allows them to be in a relatively stronger position regarding their own FAs.

Can't get a 2nd, but you are right it likely would have been a 3rd. However, they offset losing LeVitre by signing FA of their own, and it is the net loss of qualified FA that count. It was cancelled out when they signed their own FA.
They did the same thing this year, signing FA to offset the loss of Byrd.

Two or three picks, not second or third round.
