- [Korte on regarding Daniel Jones] as the Comp Pick Guy I should note that if a team signs him this season, they can get compensatory pick credit for him next season—& even backup QBs usually get paid enough to qualify. https://twitter.com/nickkorte/status/1860008219038613787?s=19&t=G2Sfvc9U7BvlZAaiFSL5QA 87 comments nfl
- [Korte] It was just noted on @SNFonNBC just noted how much salary of the 49ers is on reserve lists. Here it is illustrated by APY on OTC--SF has the highest number in this regard: https://twitter.com/nickkorte/status/1850713052204900672/photo/1 7 comments nfl

- [Korte (the comp pick guy)] While this is great news for the Bengals, I still think this is an unsatisfactory result for the 49ers and Bills, as the 3rd/4th round cutoff still seems way off for me even with this revision. https://twitter.com/nickkorte/status/1767320871457501493 67 comments nfl
- [Korte] My annual evaluation of my compensatory picks projection for 2024 will have to wait for several reasons. But in the meantime, something is really, really wrong with the 3rd/4th round cutoff--to the point that I'm concerned that the NFL Management Council may have made an error. https://twitter.com/nickkorte/status/1766244810451738730 109 comments nfl

- [Nick Korte] The Eagles don’t have their own 5th & 6th rounders, and aren’t allowed to trade their comp picks yet. Thus: The 5th rounder is from TB as part of the Bucs’ tradeup for Trey Palmer The 6th rounder is going back to the Titans, which PHI got as a draft pick swap for Ugo Amadi. https://twitter.com/nickkorte/status/1716539833534022091?s=46&t=T-zGo6uSE2ZgbsB4kC_dRQ 42 comments nfl
- [Korte] This trade could cost the Chiefs more than this draft pick swap in 2025. Kansas City should also lose a 5th round 2024 comp pick for the departure of JuJu Smith-Schuster to the Patriots, since Mecole Hardman was signed as a compensatory free agent by the Jets last offseason. https://twitter.com/nickkorte/status/1714727670855139548 25 comments nfl
- [Korte] Barring any UFA tenders, starting tomorrow teams can sign UFAs without them counting in the compensatory pick formula.

- [Korte] OTC has learned that Dan Feeney's 1 year contract is for $3.25 million. That is good enough to qualify him as a compensatory free agent that adds a 7th round 2024 comp pick on the board for the Jets, & puts the Dolphins further away from comp picks. https://twitter.com/nickkorte/status/1638189381352849409 19 comments nfl

- [Nick Korte] The Bears had signed Al-Quadin Muhammad to a two year, $8M contract that should qualify him as a 2023 compensatory free agent against the Bears. Had the Bears not signed him, there's a chance they could have had a 4th round 2023 comp pick for the departure of Allen Robinson. https://twitter.com/nickkorte/status/1626751655319420930?s=19&t=hHbFAzND_Hrp8c5xLq5lzg 61 comments nfl
- [Korte] The Saints would need almost $34M in cap space to take on Derek Carr's contract. The Saints are currently $60M over the cap, & with simple restructures alone can only get to $26M under. Color me skeptical of Carr arriving in New Orleans via trade. https://twitter.com/nickkorte/status/1623107062376054785?s=19&t=w9UtTLqP80TpdDicRCGAMQ 103 comments nfl

- [Korte] By giving JuJu Smith-Schuster this potential raise, the Chiefs may have demoted one of their expected 6th round 2023 comp picks to a 7th rounder, by potentially raising his compensatory free agent round from the 7th to the 6th. https://twitter.com/nickkorte/status/1563536732041396225 49 comments nfl
- [Nick Korte] While I'm in the OTC database, here's another fun random stat: If I've queried correctly, from 2013 to 2021 the NFL has spent $46.166 billion on player salaries. https://twitter.com/nickkorte/status/1527793638582804480 103 comments nfl
- [Korte] Lorenzo Carter's contract is enough to qualify for compensatory free agent status. Despite only being at the 7th round, that cancels out the Falcons' 4th round 2023 compensatory pick for the departure of Foyesade Oluokun. https://twitter.com/nickkorte/status/1506270634396905472?s=19&t=k1dcrQfZ1SOmwyvADEb9Jg 62 comments nfl

- [Korte] By acquiring via trade Ahkello Witherspoon, a compensatory free agent signed by the Seahawks, the Steelers will cancel out a 5th round 2022 compensatory pick for the departure of Matt Feiler--in addition to whatever they give up to Seattle in direct compensation. https://twitter.com/nickkorte/status/1433832605997174788 42 comments nfl

- [Korte] Had the Steelers traded to reacquire Le'Veon Bell, they would have lost their 3rd round 2020 compensatory pick for him. But that makes good sense, as there would be little reason to compensate the Steelers for losing him. https://twitter.com/nickkorte/status/1191037608417091584?s=12 10 comments nfl
- [Korte] The Titans cutting Brent Urban before Week 10 removes the Ravens' 4th rounder for John Brown from the 2020 compensatory picks board. https://twitter.com/nickkorte/status/1185558381378994178?s=21 60 comments nfl
- [Korte] By cutting LJ Fort, the Eagles pick up a 4th round 2020 compensatory pick for one of either Golden Tate or Jordan Hicks, and simultaneously take off the board the Steelers' 3rd round 2020 comp pick for Le'Veon Bell. https://twitter.com/nickkorte/status/1177686204667400192 76 comments nfl
- [Korte] In order for Antonio Brown to become a 2021 compensatory free agent in favor of the Patriots, he'd have to accrue his 10th season. That would trigger the Alan Faneca rule that limits his comp pick value to a 5th rounder. https://twitter.com/nickkorte/status/1170454253548134400?s=21 20 comments nfl
- [Korte] Cutting Mike Pennel does nothing currently for the Patriots' 2020 comp picks, as they already had the max of 4. However, it does give them leeway to stay at the max of 4 if another team cuts one of the compensatory free agents they lost. https://twitter.com/nickkorte/status/1165986260453740545 7 comments nfl
- [Korte] It does make you wonder if we could see more early retirements in the NFL in the upper echelon given how salaries have risen.

- [Korte] Depending on whether Dallas can pick up a 5th round 2020 compensatory pick for Cole Beasley (depends on George Iloka), there may be only 12 teams that receive comp picks in this draft.

- [Korte] There are 14 teams, almost half of the league, who would lose a 3rd or 4th round 2020 compensatory pick if they traded for Le'Veon Bell: Eagles, Patriots, Ravens, Giants, Texans, Seahawks, Steelers(?!), Dolphins, Vikings, Rams, Chargers, Redskins, Bears, Chiefs. https://twitter.com/nickkorte/status/1129751739845042177 298 comments nfl

- [Korte] At $8.5M APY, Steven Nelson's contract with the Steelers should be valued as a 4th rounder. Therefore, unless Le'Veon Bell signs for more than about $11M APY, then (prepare yourselves, Steelers fans), Nelson would cancel out Bell's comp pick no matter what. https://twitter.com/nickkorte/status/1105611166875709440 38 comments nfl
