That's a lot.

I just need to know if it stops us from getting our 3rd round comp picks!!

@Cearbhall?

It could. If he counts as a 7th rounder in the compensatory formula that would, right now, be the difference between getting another third or not.  Other things can change between now and when those picks are awarded too though.  First, we'll see if his contract will be enough to be a factor at all.

I'm interpreting the info pasted below to mean he is not a CFA and will not count (edit: nevermind, I'm still unsure how it works with him since he was cut/claimed via waivers twice last year)

 

From OTC's page: https://overthecap.com/the-basics-and-methodology-of-projecting-the-nfls-compensatory-draft-picks

Appendix V of the 2020 Collective Bargaining Agreement contains the binding bylaws of the compensatory pick system. App. V, §1 explains the basics as follows:

[A] Compensatory Free Agent (“CFA”) shall be defined as an Unrestricted Free Agent (“UFA”) who: (i) signed with a new Club during the prior free agency signing period […] prior to 4:00 p.m., New York time, on the Monday following the NFL Draft for that League Year1 […]; and (ii) ranked within the top 35%2 of all League players […]. Clubs that lose to other Clubs a greater number of CFAs than they sign or acquire from other Clubs shall be eligible to receive a Compensatory Draft Selection in the College Draft to be held in the following League Year subject to the provisions set forth below.

What happened to this guy? This is like his 4th team recently.

He's just...very replaceable.  When the Jaguars cut him, it wasn't that he was particularly awful or anything...he was just a contract that was easy to cut and save some money, and his play was just...serviceable and very easy to replace.
