Next year there should be compensatory picks right?

[Ivan The Awesome]

Like when Peppers left, we received a 3rd round pick. Is it possible to get something like that next year?

Possible. Depends entirely on how much playing time the guys we lost get, IIRC.

[Ivan The Awesome]

IF the case is indeed that, then this should be good news for us. Mitchell, Smith, Ginn are all going to be starters.

[El Chingon]

We've lost 7 FA, 3 of which were starters. That equates to at least 3 comp picks.......but free agency is not over of course. 

[Zithers]

all gonna be 6s or 7s.

 

greg hardy probably would have been a 3 or 4.

IF the case is indeed that, then this should be good news for us. Mitchell, Lafell, Ginn are all going to be starters.

 

...since smith's contract didn't expire, he won't yield a comp pick whatsoever. as for the other guys and the contracts they signed (remember peppers signed for +10mio/y back then): you're looking at 5th round picks and more reasonably - 6th and 7th rounders (like zithers mentioned)

We cut Smith. I don't see us getting anything there. I maybe be wrong.

[JawnyBlaze]

I'm pretty sure playing time is a part of the formula, as well as their contracts.  So the picks could be affected over the course of the year.

 

Hardy would have netted a 3 easy, no chance it wouldn't have been a 4.  Mitchell could get us a 4 possibly, a 5 probably.  $5mil per year ain't shabby.  The others will probably be 6s and 7s.  And yea, Smitty was cut so there's no comp there.  None for Gross either.

We're the team that keeps on giving.

Posted this already, but here it is again.

 

 

Panthers, SB champs and Texans keep early legs up on 2015 comp picks ... The big news on the free agent trail on Monday was the Giants signing of former Denver CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie to a 5-year deal. For the most part, though, the second week of the 2014 free agent signing period started very quietly. As a result, defending Super Bowl champion Seattle and Carolina continue to hold the early inside positions on picking up compensatory picks at the 2015 draft as both teams have lost 6 free agents to other teams while signing none. Meanwhile, Houston has lost five more free agents than they have signed to date, while Baltimore, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh are down a net of three. Comp picks for the 2015 draft will be determined by a formula that includes net free agent losses, as well as the money involved in a team's respective free agent gains and losses.

I don't think smith counts, he was cut.
