Re: Saints Get no Compensatory Picks

There is nothing arbitrary or subjective about the system.
Sign better players than you lose and you will not get picks- it's simply an algorithm and nothing more. Teams that lost more than they signed are prioritized and picks are allotted accordingly until they are exhausted.

same thing, every year...

How do New England get a compensatory pick after picking up Giselle, Burkhead, Cooks, Gilmore, and Lawerence Guy. They were the talk all offseason after beating the falcons that the rich is getting richer with all the offseason signning and they get a high compensatory pick for 4 guys and 3 of them they didn't even want back (Michael Floyd, Blount and Chris Long) the other they signed back (Martellius Bennet). Compensatory Picks system need to be fix or done away with. It's not fair that a team that show loyalty and sign their players get nothing and other teams that sign players during middle of the season just to let hem walk free after the season is rewarded extra picks

But I have to agree - upgrading from Logan Ryan to Stephen Gilmore should've been a net gain for them...

Losing LaGarrette Blount for Rex Burkhead should've been a wash...

Jabaal Sheard had a bounce-back year with the Colts; so that I can see even though the young guns made him expendable...

Chris Long also had a slightly more productive year, and they lost B-Mingo...

Also Mart Bennett and Michael Floyd...

Re: Saints Get no Compensatory Picks

I'm looking at the Cowboys list from last season, and other than Justin Durant, I just don't get how there's anything but an arbitrary and subjective awarding of draft picks to the Cowboys...

The compensatory picks systems needs to go - in the world of the hard salary cap, television networks revenue sharing - there's no longer a need for compensatory picks other than for the league to strengthen certain teams...
