Something else wiki had to say about it that I didn't know: if fewer than 32 picks would be given out based on the formula, an "8th round" will go into effect (basically just picks at the end of the 7th) until 32 "comp picks" have been awarded. These types of picks are called supplemental comp picks. Meaning if only 30 comp picks were awarded this year, the Chiefs and Jags would get comp picks at the very end.

I'm on an iPad so I can't copy and paste the whole thing (or don't know how to if it is possible) but wiki says the formula is based on salary, playing time and postseason honors with salary being the primary factor.

Yeah, I saw that and had just edited my post. Your search probably turned up the same two sources (Wiki and About.com) so I'm not sure how much stock to put in the info. Apparently, compensatories are one of those super secret NFL formulas.

Yea probably Wharton and Connor. Shockey didn't play for anyone else and I'm pretty sure the contract and/or playing time the lost FA gets from another team decides comp picks.

True.. He was the first big loss I thought about so that's why I put him there. My bad

Wharton was cut. I thought these only were rewarded for free agent defections. Connor is definitely one. Could Bernadeau or Schwartz be the other? They both got decent contracts elsewhere

You're right. If you read the article it states that Wharton was one of the 6th rounders. However, Wharton was cut and will not count. So it should only be 1. Bernadeau and Schwartz were canceled out by the guys we signed.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
