They chose not to sign them because they aren't worth that much money.

A note on these insane deals. These palyers are not top producers on the field. Teams will be stuck in mediocrity and have to commit cap suicide as we shine Gibbs fourth Lombardi trophy. We have our Albatrossaleta now they have theirs, evens the field.

some people just like to rag on the skins front office, regardless of the moves they make.

Would have been nice to see Davis next to CS, but not at that price tag!

That Guy · 03-04-2007, 06:15 PM

all OL are grouped together for the franchise tag, so any OL would get 9.4mill or so under that tag this year, which would have really crippled the skins ability to do anything.

A question we still get a compensation pick for the loss of Dockery right? If so is it based where he was drafted,what he is going to make or what? Where do you think the pick will be?

Compensatory picks are not automatic. Usually they are given to teams currently in the league's graces (like Denver and Philadelphia). It will be for the 2008 draft and likely not any higher than a sixth rounder.

Actually there's a formula for comp picks. URAs lost - UFAs signed. There are other details like where the guy was drafted I believe. At this point we would 0 since we signed two and lost two.

But the processes used to determine the quality of FA signed vs lost are highly subjective and not standardized at all. In the past, Denver lost picks as a penalty for being over the cap during their SB run, only to be handed them back as compensatory picks. Very shady business.

This new restraint is welcome. I cant help but think that in a few years when we are winning our second straight superbowl we'll look back on this offseason, after the disasterous free agency of signings of last year, as the point at which they learned their lesson and things began to turn.

FRPLG · 03-04-2007, 10:24 PM

I think it is more misunderstood than shady.

Possibly. That one instance was shady at least. Maybe I'm just projecting that to the entire process.

That Guy · 03-04-2007, 10:35 PM

well, the doors are closed on the meeting that decided who gets what, but # of FAs lost/number gained and contract values of all those FAs comes into play, and whom among them were starters.

we might get a very very late 7th, if something insane happens a very late 6th. don't hold your breath.

right now, doc is out (50mill) but smoot and fletcher are in (50mill), so i'd guess we get nothing at all.
