AAA DOLFAN posted:Because there are new regimes all the time, and at this rate the draft is such a crapshoot that having multiple picks in comp selections, especially 3 and 4s, really make the playing field uneven. To be fair, the "not picking up the roster bonus" gimmick getting you a comp pick doesn't make a lot of sense, but on the other hand that so many teams seem to not use it is utterly baffling. They should go away, but it's baffling how some teams exploit it so well and others just don't bother. Everyone knew the Dolphins should have pulled the tag from Clay so they'd get a comp pick, but they didn't. That's not on the comp pick system, thats on the dolphins being idiots. That the Patriots will get an extra 3rd because of the Revis rental though is just so loving absurd that although I love it I can't defend it.

WHOOPS posted:Is it even a guarantee Revis is going to net a comp pick? I know OTC thinks they will but there's not a ton of history around declined team options and there's no documentation on exactly how comps are awarded, correct? It's not guaranteed, but I believe they found a specific case of a declined team option netting a comp pick. I think it's public who a comp pick is associated with.

football fuckerman posted:Not all teams have the negotiating room that the patriots do. What free agent is going to agree to an additional year with a team option with the browns or buccaneers? The browns gave Alex Mack THREE years of player options to get him to sign Just make the team option a billion dollars or something like the Revis one where everyone knows it's not going to happen. It's not a real year, the team tacks it on so they get a free pick and the player gets an extra 10k or something, plus bragging rights about how valuable his contract is.

AAA DOLFAN posted:Apparently yanking the tag would have gotten them some grief from the league or the union or some poo poo. You can't yank the tag after you assign it just bc you think someone else is taking your dude. That makes more sense, thanks.

Kalli posted:Patriots restructured Jerod Mayo, goes from $7m salary this year to $4m guaranteed, with playtime incentives that can raise it to 6, and replaced the last two years of his deal with option years. Well that's handy, means they get a comp pick when he's cut next year

Chilichimp posted:I'm not sure Bradford understand what good bargaining position is. No, he does, and he's making an intelligent move there. He is willing to accept a less pay to play in Philly (presumably because he thinks he'll do well there, extend his career, etc) but he's not willing to take that discount with the risk he gets shuffled off to some QB graveyard like the Browns. If he's going to get traded to one of those teams, he will demand considerably more money, or he'll play out his contract and go somewhere he'd rather play in free agency. Makes perfect sense to me. Chilichimp posted:I mean, he has no bargaining power in his relationship with Philly. If you're not a team player, you'll get cut/traded, that's the goddamn Chip way. He has teams willing to trade a first for him, so getting cut isn't a problem for him: he'll get to negotiate a deal as a sought-after free agent. If he does get traded, he has only a year on his contract so the team trading for him will have to negotiate an extension with him as part of the trade, giving him additional leverage. Getting cut or traded isn't a problem for a guy who is in demand and has only one year on his contract.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:<_< My guess is the investigation found no hint of anything but the dumb statement by Woody, making this a dumb statement that slipped out tampering instead of major tampering. Still requires punishment, because his statement was quite clearly tampering according to the rules, but there wasn't anything serious here.
