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

So far, we've gained more guys than lost. It's a complex formula for Comp picks, but I'd have to agree that Jennings and Williams contracts will get us something.

I don't think the money that Jennings got will get us anything. I mean, the Dolphins lost Wade last season to the Texans and he got a 10 Million signing bonus. The Fins got no comp picks in return. The NFL doesn't let the teams know how the formula works for the comp picks so...who knows but I am not holding my breath.

Is the round where players were originally drafted a factor? Anderson and Pat Williams were never drafted. Jennings was a third round pick, wasn't he? Holcombe was an undrafted frree agent out of college. Mike Gandy isn't even listed at the moment on NFL.com and the official Bills website does not say how he entered the league.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

No, the round where a player was drafted doesn't count.

Under terms of the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement, a team losing more or better compensatory free agents than it acquires in a year is eligible to receive compensatory draft picks.
Basically, we have to lose more people than we gain, or we have to lose players of higher quality, which I think we've achieved this off-season.
To what extent, who knows? I think we get a high pick for losing JJ, and Williams might be negated by signing Holcomb, Gandy, and Anderson.
