Yep, and I heard you can only get 4 comp picks max each year. That’s why we’re stacking up these 1-year deals — so we can keep that comp pick game strong while also bringing in players on prove-it contracts or snatching them before anyone else can. (So If you lose a player to a big contract (e.g., $15M per year) and you sign a player for a similar or lesser contract, you’ll likely get a comp pick.
If you lose a player to a big contract but sign players with bigger contracts than the ones you lost, you’ll probably not get any comp picks because the formula sees it as a net gain.) It’s all about creating that competition in the positions we’re likely gonna draft for, especially since we’re bringing in players for positions we’re targeting with rookies. We just signed a DB, TE, Edge rusher, traded for a Guard, and brought in a RB—and guess what? Every single one of these guys plays the exact positions we’re looking to draft for. But the key is, we’re locking them in on 1-year deals. They’re young, and most are average-to-solid players, but this move is straight chess. Especially with the signings of AJ Dillon, Adoree Jackson, and Josh Uche — we’re out here playing mind games while everyone’s losing their minds and not even noticing. The Super Bowl champs are coming out with 12+ picks over the next two years 😂😂. Pure genius at work, my friend. #PhiladelphiaEagles #HowieSZN
