Thats what makes these signings so good.
Winston and Routt were cut.

Boss was cut too.
Unless I'm missing someone, the current ratio is 3 qualifying free agents lost (Carr, Orton, McClain) and 2 qualifying free agents signed (Hillis, Quinn).
It's still in flux because the Chiefs have free agents of their own who could still sign elsewhere. Although other than Gilberry, I'm not sure who would draw much interest. And Quinn may not even count, depending on his contract and whether they end up keeping him.
But at the moment, the 3-2 score would get the Chiefs one compensatory pick. Hillis and Quinn didn't get anywhere near the contract that Carr did, so it would be Carr that would net us the pick. And given his contract, it'd probably be the max 3rd rounder.
As of now they won't get anything for Orton. But if Gilberry signs elsewhere and the Chiefs don't sign any additional QFAs, then they should.
