Clear as mud:

If a team gain and lose the same number of players, but lose higher valued players than they gained, all they will receive the following draft is seventh round compensatory picks.


If the team loses more players than it signs, then the formula considers the following on the players lost: salary, playing time and post-season achievements.
The round of the pick awarded is determined by the annual value of the contract signed by the lost player; equal contracts between lost and gained players cancel each other out, then lower contracts, before cancelling out higher contracts.

Technically we signed 5 and lost 4, but I don't know Coleman and Butler count
