Jonathan Allen given permission to seek a trade (update: he’s been released)

Does anyone know if losing someone to free agency on one year deals are eligible for compensoratory picks? I am curious on Chinn, or even Brown. We really need some picks

If Chinn and Brown's contract expired, then they are considered Compensatory Free Agents (CFA) that count towards the team getting compensatory picks. I'm thinking Cornelius Lucas would also count, since his contract expired as well. Of course Jon Allen wouldn't count, since the team cut him.

That would be offset by any CFAs we signed. I believe Kinlaw's contract with the Jets ended, so us signing him would offset any CFAs we lost. I believe Will Harris was also a CFA we signed from New Orleans.
