Free agents 2014

Can somebody explain how the compensatory picks are decided how what round they are in?.
I get its to do with number of FA lost compared to how many you sign snd we look like we will loose a fair few some fairly highly rated like Bushrod last year possibly two starting O linemen this year.

Simply, it's based on the FA Lost and the contract amount the FA signed; the League office sits in committee, looks at the market, what the FAs signed for and then they assign the compensatory pick...

Are we likely to get much this year?.

I'd say yes, we have quite a few free-agents that will likely play elsewhere in 2014, and we won't be bringing in many high priced free-agents to replace them.

But I thought we'd get some comps before and we got jack squat.

If we lose 20 million in free-agency but we sign 20 million to replace them, we won't get picks.

I think this year we'll lose more than we sign.

Graham's contract and the moves to make room for same will really dictate what happens...

We could see a third-fourth rounder for Strief, should he depart...

Also could see a fourth rounder for De La Puente, should he depart...

Have a feeling that Jenkins will leave from pride and sign for less elsewhere, though wouldn't cry about that; he'd probably bring a sixth, seventh round pick...

Tell you one thing, though that has gotten little discussion - I'd seriously think about bringing in some punters; that BS last punt in the game @ Carolina and that WTF moment first punt in the Seattle playoff game absolutely stung...

Moorstead is getting $3.ml next year and it will cost too much too cut him so he will be here.

Yep, I just checked, 3.2 mill to keep him, 3.1 to cut him.

He's safe in 2014.

The problem isn't his dead money, the problem is we paid a friggin Punter 3.3 million per season to start with.

Pierre Thomas
Kenny Vaccaro
Junior Galette
Brian De La Puente
Cameron Jordan
Zach Strief
Patrick Robinson
Mark Ingram
Benjamin Watson

That's unacceptable; what a bad ****ing contract to sign him...

He should've been cut after that BS punt in Carolina; and that first attempt at Seattle in the playoff game - pack your freaking bags...

Dude has got to get his game together - Hell, I'd cut him on sheer principle...
