Re: Bills projected to receive no compensatory picks

With the strange free agency period they had last offseason, I'd be interested to know what counts and what doesn't. IIRC, Morrison was signed pretty late and I would have guessed he didn't count.

Re: Bills projected to receive no compensatory picks

Poz - 6 years, $42 million
Whitner - 3 years, 11.5 mil

Thigpen - 3 years, 11 mil
Smith - 4 years, $15 mill
Barnett - 3 years, $12 mil (if his even counts.)

Loss - 9 years, 53.5 mil
Gain - 10 years, 38 mil


Not sure I understand this point DB. $15 million is a big difference. Also, the fact that the comparison is offense to defense, that should matter. This league needs to get rid of this, it is basically set up to give extra draft picks to teams that draft good and win.

We signed Thigpen, Barnett, and Smith those three will cancel out Poz and Whitner. This shouldnt be a surprise to anybody.

Barnett does not count since he was cut.

Barnett doesn't count in comp formula because he was released by the Packers

Good point forgot about that caveat.

I'm not saying I understand it either.

The compensatory pick formula is still secret. While some people have figured out most of it, nobody knows the whole thing except for the NFL.

The writers comment about the Bills was;

Neither Kirk Morrison, Tommy Thigpen, or Brad Smith contributed much for Buffalo. But signing two of them cost the Bills a 3rd rounder for losing Posluszny.

Re: Bills projected to receive no compensatory picks

Now it appears from the comments he may have not factored in Whitner, so who I knows. I know the guy who runs the site so let me see if I can get a hold of him.
