I’m not sure but I think it still cancels out since he made the 53. Remember the other Charles Johnson? I remember that if he made the Jets opening day roster we would have gotten a 6th for Dickson because he wouldn’t have been canceled out.

Also, since he made the roster and was a vet, we spent $3.75M and get nothing back. Vets salary becomes guaranteed when they are on the week 1 53. That’s why we signed Reid after week 1.

There was no need to sign Roberts early and lose a comp pick and guarantee his salary. I believe we paid Smith and Roberts $10M for 21 catches. Not bad at all. Thrown in Short’s money and we basically pissed away almost two years of Moton.

I remember that Charles Johnson. The panthers got Mike Davis and Donte Moncrief cause the teams didnt want them to count against the comp formula. I believe its counts if they where on the week 10 roster. No idea if that changed this year or not. That salary hurts, should have cut him before week 1......but I wanted to do that for Davis too...They must have been worried about samuels health and just having "pro" WR for bradys system that relies heavy on WRs. They signed them before the draft too, since the plan was focused on defense. It didnt work out like other moves this year.

I looked and couldn’t find anything about how long. I do remember CJ was cut before the first 53 and there was discussion (might have been on OTC) that we would have gotten a pick for Dickson if he made the 53. That’s why I think we won’t get anything. That said they did rewrite some of the CBA this year for some of the loopholes (releasing for voided year doesn’t count), so no clue if he opens up another pick. It’ll be a late one anyway.

Looks like Hurney tried to trade him, but found no takers. Not really surprising since any team wanting him would know he was getting cut and he isn’t subject to waivers. If true that we will get a 7th comp pick back for cutting him then it doesn’t really matter that he wasn’t traded because that’s all he was worth anyway.

It was surprising when Robert’s, Zylstra, and Kirkwood were getting snaps but not Cooper. I know I’m a Gamecock fan so I’m biased, but Cooper was like the beta version of Debo Samuel back in college. I guess he just isn’t showing the coaches much in terms of WR play.

I know he had some injuries, so idk if that had any lasting effect, but he has not looked as nearly as fast or as explosive as I remember him being in college and early on in his NFL career.
