Agreed.

Ok why did New England get 4 compensatory picks? and how did we not get a single one?

Because Vince Wilfork sat on Roger Goodell until Goodell screamed for mercy.

Maybe, they filmed Goodell when he went out at night with his mistress.

53Fan · 03-23-2010, 08:38 PM

^ Goodell's or Wilfork's?

Darth Hoody used the dark side of the force.

Please. Haven't you ever left your house and seen some guy on top of a neighboring building with a tripod and a Patriots hat? People get paranoid about big brother, but in reality they should really just fear New England.

I always thought Compensatory picks were somewhat chosen by how many starters the team lost to either FA or the team cut? I'd of thought we would have gotten one for ARE maybe atleast one or two more in there.

I am glad we changed course and are no longer the best at signing overpriced FA's and bullshitting the cap. It is about time we learned from the successful teams and followed their lead. It took Danny 10 years to figure it out. Better late than never.

No doubt about it. The Patriots now have 12 picks in this year's draft. TWELVE. Between this year and next year, they have 7, count 'em, 7 picks in the first 2 rounds. Unreal. At the precise moment when they have lost too many accomplished vets to be a real contender, they are set up to have a massive influx of serious young talent. IMO they are the benchmark of how to manage personnel. In the same vein, with Pioli now in KC, don't be surprised to see that team become the bell cow in AFC West in the not too distant future (especially if Matt Cassell continues to improve).

We don't get squat for cutting a guy. Why would we?

Again it only pertains to free agents you lose, not guys you cut.

i did not know that. thanks

I know the formula is based around free agents lost, but does that include cuts? Like if Randy Thomas, Cornelius Griffin, Fred Smoot, etc.. sign, will we get compensation for that?

Not trying to bring up old stuff...actually that's exactly what I'm doing. I still feel that we should have gotten something in return for losing Sean Taylor. Maybe it is something that they can discuss in the new CBA to compensate teams for any player that they lose involuntarily. I would not include players who perform an illegal act and go to jail or get suspended. That way player conduct is still vital.
