Let’s say Becton signs for what would be a comp 5. Would you pass on Ojulari if he would cancel that out? What if it were Rodgers’ comp 6?

I find it odd there has been crickets on Becton. Like no noise from ANY team

Not until after the draft if they do at all. 

Jackson is a solid signing. He is the Rodgers replacement. He will be fine or OK as an emergency starter or injury replacement. He's not a plus starter but he's not another White Crayon and the UPS drivers. As a worst case fallback he is not terrible. I'd prefer he winds up in the Avonte role because a couple young guys beat him out in camp and preseason.

 

He is not the other outside starter. He has not been that guy for at least a couple years.

Does it count if you resign your own players?

Don’t necessarily know about that. I don’t think they’d turn down Ojulari, Za’Darius Smith or a guy like Blackmon for more than 2.5m just to protect a 6th round pick. It depends on the player vs the value of the pick. I don’t think they’d sign an AJ Dillon tier player for 2.5m though.

I would guess he is getting low ball offers or high incentive based offers. The one year in a great system on a great team concern looks like it was legit. Its possible he was the fallback plan for the 6 to 8 teams that traded for or signed guards already.

The Bengals are sniffing around guards, but they’ve been linked to Teven Jenkins.

I didn't think so. Yes to your question though.

The comp formula is only based on your own players you lose and other team's players you sign.

Resigning your own guys counts, but only in that you can't get a pick for that guy signing somewhere else.

Anyone who is cut does not count on either side of the formula.

John McMullen said Becton has some knee issues and it's probably why he hasn't signed yet.

Though you would get one if he signed elsewhere so indirectly

Is there maximum number of comp picks you can receive? Like 4?

I was clearly talking through my hat.  I would love to be able to claim sarcasm, but the truth is I added the word "not” to what the OP was saying and therefore my comment was 100% illogical.

I think they’d lose the 3rd rounder if they sign a guy exceeding that $. Pretty sure you lose your highest comp pick. Not positive, but pretty sure.

It really isn’t a surprise to me.  Becton is a plus run blocker but only a meh pass blocker.  In today’s NFL having a running game as option one only works for less than a handful of teams.  Most teams want their O-Line to protect their QB first and foremost.  Becton doesn’t consistently give them that.  Thus the hesitancy.

The cancellation formula trys to match up levels, so if the Eagles sign a FA for between $3 and $3.5 AAV that will qualify as a 7th Round Comp Pick and cancel out the 6th we have for Rodgers rather than the 4th we have for Sweat or the 3rd for Williams.

A. We don't know that for sure and if you believe the reports they were in on Justin Reid who got 22 million guaranteed, which would suggest otherwise

B. If Becton signs elsewhere for a lucrative deal they will gain yet another pick and could be more willing to sign one guy at decent money

C. Some of those guys could end up being around post draft and/or not cost much

No equal levels cancel out. You don't lose your highest pick

He may be getting lowball offers, but I’m more inclined to think he isn’t getting offers at all because of his weaknesses in pass protection.
