The only FAs that count are the ones that their previous contract ran out.
If they are cut, they dont effect comp picks.
Thats what makes these signings so good.
Winston and Routt were cut.
If we sign a high dollar guy that his contract ran out, it would effect our comp pick next year.
The way I read it, if we "lose" guys to big contracts and dont sign guys to big contracts (that the players contract expired, they werent cut) then we get a comp pick according to how well the players we lost played.
If Carr has a good year and we stand pat the way we are right now, we have a good chance of having an extra 3rd rounder next year.
