Well the bigger the contract that a free agent gets when he leaves your team the higher the draft pick. No higher than a third round pick. I am speculating that they get a third round draft choice. Also, a team must lose more free agents then they gain.

No one knows. Not even the NFL.

And we shouldn't bank on compensatory picks for a long time as we don't have draft picks and depend on free agents.

Re: Kirk Cousins pick 4.7
 

But we did just draft 21 guys these last three years so who knows. This team needed all the free agents signed the last two years. I wouldnt get to worked up about not getting compensatory picks.

Re: Kirk Cousins pick 4.7
 

i don't think anyone was banking on them or getting worked up over them

Re: Kirk Cousins pick 4.7
 

Why is it taking so long to sign a 4th rounder in Cousins? Hasn't most of the 4th's signed already?

Re: Kirk Cousins pick 4.7
 

Interesting article, don't know if it applies to Cousins

I would imagine that Bruce Allen knows that Cousins is more valuable than a 4th round pick. No one knows why he fell to the 4th round but he did. If he's truly a second round caliber draft choice that fell to the 4th round, but Shanahan and Allen thinks he was a steal, then his value is greater than that of a 4th rounder. Maybe they are just in negotiating a deal with Cousins agent that each side will be satisfied with.
