Note though, released players dont count. So Nate doesnt, as does Madieu, and I think grant and applewhite dont either since their tenders were rescinded.
Look for 4 picks.
I would think 4th, 5th and 2 6ths
depending on season, Baas should get a 4th for the deal by itself. And he will start.
Spikes a 5th, If Franklin counts, and Lawson should so 2 6ths.
Good job, AB.
I also read up on on comp picks , and basically came up with the same thing you did, although, since Spikes has atleast 10 accrued seasons, and is making roughly 3.5 million/year, I would think he would only net us a 6th.
Also, since Akers had a transition tag rescinded, not sure if by the team or the NFL, I dont think he would count as well.
Just to update after Goodwin and Rogers signed, the only players who I believe qualify, we should get :
4th rd: Baas ( could be a 3rd if he signed for more than 6.5 per year and starts )
6th rd: Franklin ( 5th if signed to more than 4 million and plays alot of snaps )
7th rd: Laboy ( should get 7th as long as he makes roster )
Add another 6th or so if Goldson leaves. I doubt we will sign a veteran for more than 4.5 million, unless cut or released, so we do not lose the 3rd or 4th for Baas.
I think part of the plan was to see if anyone would give top 5 deals to Franklin, Baas and Goldson, thus giving us 3 extra 3rd rd choices next year.
