Compensatory Pick ?

[DeepSouth]

Before the draft every year, the league passes out compensatory picks to teams that lost players due to free agency. Anyone know how this works? Shouldn't the Chiefs get a decent extra pick for losing Tait ?

[the Talking Can]

I think so. But I know nothing.



















I farted.

[nmt1]

I'm not sure exactly what the rules are but the pick is based on how much playing time the player was getting when he signed with the other team. Tait was a starter for two years so I suspect we'll get the highest compensation possible. Again, I'm not exactly sure of the rules but I would guess we may get a high 4th or low 3rd for it.

[Phobia]

Compensatory picks are very confusing. Tait would probably have to go to the pro-bowl for us to get a 3rd out of the deal. I'd say a 4th rounder is likely. I'd like J. Allen Jr., please.

[Hoover]

Its kinda like this

Player lost
- Vaule of player who replaced him
= value of Compensatory pick

I think we will get a 5th

Since we signed Bober to replace him, then traded for Wellbourn, I'm not sure if they look at Bober, Wellbourn or Both.

Compensatory picks are based upon Free Agency. A traded, drafted, or otherwise acquired pick is irrelevent.

Compensatory picks are based upon Free Agency. A traded, drafted, or otherwise acquired pick is irrelevent.
Wasn't Tait designated a transition player also?

[Phobia]

Wasn't Tait designated a transition player also?

Yes, but that's part of free agency. If you lose him without compensation, the Chiefs are still eligible for compensation picks.

[beavis]

Yes, but that's part of free agency. If you lose him without compensation, the Chiefs are still eligible for compensation picks.
I thought that was only for a player who was protected in some manner, ie transition or franchise. We don't compensation for losing an unprotected, unrestricted free agent.

this is old from 2000

PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- The NFL awarded 14 teams compensatory picks in next month's draft for losing free agents last year.

Four teams -- the Packers, Vikings, Jaguars and Patriots -- each were given four extra choices, the league said Tuesday. The Redskins received three, while the Steelers, Saints and Chargers got two apiece.

Also receiving compensatory choices, based on a formula including how much the lost free agents played for their new teams and how much they were paid, were the Broncos, Lions, Bills, Titans, Chiefs and Cardinals.

Green Bay, New England, Tennessee and Washington got picks in the fourth round, Nos. 126-129. Kansas City, Pittsburgh, Arizona, Minnesota and New Orleans were given fifth-round selections, Nos. 162-166.

Compensatory draft choices announced


(April 1, 2002) -- A total of 32 compensatory choices in the 2002 NFL Draft have been awarded to 18 teams.

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.

The number of picks a team receives equals the net loss of compensatory free agents up to a maximum of four. The 32 compensatory choices announced will supplement the 229 choices in the regular seven rounds of the 2002 NFL Draft. This year, the compensatory picks will be positioned within the third through seventh rounds based on the value of the compensatory free agents lost.

Compensatory free agents are determined by a formula based on salary, playing time and postseason honors. The formula was developed by the NFL Management Council. Not every free agent lost or signed by a club is covered by this formula.

One club this year (Washington) will receive a compensatory pick even though it did not suffer a net loss of compensatory free agents. Under the formula, the compensatory free agents Washington lost were ranked higher than the ones they signed by a specified point differential.

The following 2002 draft picks have been determined by the NFL Management Council:

3 97 Buffalo
3 98 Arizona
4 132 Minnesota
4 133 Tennessee

[DeepSouth]

I appreciate all the feedback. Sorry I didn't participate but I got tied up with a minor work related crisis.

[Spicy McHaggis]

I'd say we're looking at a fourth as comp. I believe the highest you can get is a third rounder so maybe the NFL will feel generous after watching a Superbowl hopeful get its tail whipped all season.

[Hoover]

I would say losing Tait we should get a good pick do the huge contract he was signed too.
