Could definitely be helpful looking for OL in the mid rounds. Do cut and traded players count or just FA's?


But since Goodell hates us, I doubt we get any...

I don't really know the answer, but I think this is right.

No, because Roger Goodell is a bitch.

A team is eligible to receive compensatory draft picks if it is determined that they lost more or better players than they were able to acquire during the previous year's free agency period. The number of picks a team receives equals the net loss of compensatory free agents (maximum of four). Compensatory free agents are determined by a formula that was developed by the NFL Management Council. Not every free agent lost or signed by a team is covered by this formula.

I doubt it. Only people lost through becoming a FA count. Signing Byrd shouldoffset anything we lost in their formula.

Sproles won't count because we traded him. I can't think of anyone semi-valuable that we lost due to free agency.

Y'all signed the best Safety to ever play the game though, remember? Byrd was going to make y'all have the best 2ndary in the league for 2-5 years.

You don't? God, I sure do...

if he went on IR, wouldn't that offset the signing?

A very small minority on this board said that. Most people with an understanding about football knew that they still had to play together, and there were a lot of shifts in personnel from the previous year. I think one aspect of the personnel changes that surprised almost everyone was the impact of Malcolm Jenkins leaving and the loss of his on-field leadership in the secondary.

The only thing that annoyed me about this past offseason and ST was people calling Champ the number 2 CB before he even set foot on the Saints practice field:

by this formula, is the NFL basically saying your GM fricked up by letting better players go and signing worse players? so lets reward you for your bad decisions.

this is such a weird thing.
