Comp Picks update

[t96]

After these recent signings here's how it looks:

 

Gained: 

Poe

Sirles

Cockrell

Lost:

Norwell

Star

Dickson

 

So as of right now we could at best gain a 7th round comp pick, since we've gained and lost the same number of players. We need another one of our FAs to sign and count towards the comp pick formula in order to get our 3rd for Norwell back.

Players to fit that bill:

QB Derek Anderson

WR Charles Johnson

FS Jairus Byrd

OL Amini Silatolu

OLB Andrew Gachkar

TEScott Simonson

WR Brenton Bersin

OL David Yankey

WR Kaelin Clay

CB LaDarius Gunter

 

Of these players our best bets are Anderson, Silatolu, Gunter and Clay, but none of those are gimmes and we're at real risk of losing our expected 3rd for Norwell. We really just need DA to sign somewhere else and stick as the backup there for the year. The rest of the players are at risk of getting cut in TC or during the year and wind up not counting towards the formula at all.

Assuming we don't sign any more UFAs, we need one of those players to sign elsewhere and stay on a team for at least most of the year in order to get Norwell's 3rd round pick. We most likely won't get the Dickson pick back, which is well worth to it to add solid players just giving up a 6th/7th. Star's was cancelled out by Poe. If we do sign another UFA, we most likely get no comp picks next year or at best a 7th.

Good info.  I find it hard to imagine DA would not sign with anyone else.  

I bet many of those guys will be signed in the future.  

 

I think Hurney is smart enough to not lose that 3rd Round Comp, unless we got something very valuable.

I really hope that isn’t the case. If OL depth costs us a 3rd then Hurney is an idiot and he cancels out the good feelings I have for him now. Cockrell was more than covered by Dickson. Ugh. I would be pissed if we just threw away Norwell’s 3rd. 

I don’t sweat the comp pick thing so bad. 

We’re talking about glorified early 4th round pick. No GM in panthers or NFL history for that matter has ever consistently made much use of a 4th round pick.

Just to let you know, players that are released don’t count in the comp formula. Sirles was released and doesn’t count.

We still have Norwell’s third comp.

Sirles isn’t a UFA. He doesn’t count against the comp formula.

Sirles was never released by the Vikings. He was a RFA and the Vikings didn't give him a tender.

Yep @Saca312 pretty sure untendered RFAs revert to UFAs.

This is what I was thinking while reading as well. 

[AU-panther]

Sirles was a rfa, I think, so he might not qualify which would be good for us.

Um no.

 

[YoungPanthers89]

Wrong

[pantherclaw]

Have to improve the team. Can't be worried about the comps.

Voth may be wrong. My understanding was always that untendered RFAs become UFAs. Voth may have, like Saca, thought Sirles was released. But he wasn’t.
