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.

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.

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

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

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.
