Seems madden like to me. Sign big name then trade for comp and not incur future cap consequences.

Of course I don't know the details.
the signing bonus etc are still paid by the original team, so it's not a cap free move for the iggles. it also doesn't guarantee a comp pick. comp picks are determined by FA losses over FA gains... i'm pretty sure trades don't even count in the comp formula at all, since that player didn't actually leave via FA/expired contract.
