Go Army!
I definitely cannot tell you what the formula is, but yeah the net of what you lost vs what you signed factors in. Also, timing of the signings matter as well. There was a deadline for free agents to sign with other teams for consideration in comp picks for the '21 draft, and that came and went. Also, players who are released don't count toward comp picks (e.g. signing Greg Olsen won't hurt us).Can someone explain to me how compensation picks work as it would apply to Clowney's situation? I assume Clowney did not factor into our compensation picks for this years draft but would for next year?
My understanding (which I am pretty sure is not accurate) is that your compensation picks in any given year are based on a net calculation of what FA class you bring in compared to what FA class you lose for that year. It seems like a complicated system.
