Gotta compare to the other deals out there. Hayward's $5M per year should put him in the 3rd range.

Do ya'll know the exact formula....or are you just guessing at the compensation for next year?

I can't find a copy of the formula anywhere...it seems to be clocked in darkness...

The following excerpt describes the process....and it seems pretty clear that you can't just look at salary and #';s and draw any concrete conclusions of what Denver will be getting next year.

Under terms of the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement, a team
losing more or better compensatory free agents than it acquires
in a year is eligible to receive compensatory draft picks.

Compensatory free agents are determined by a formula, developed
by the NFL Management Council, based on salary and performance. Not
every free agent lost or signed by a club is covered by this
formula. The number of picks a team receives equals the net loss
of compensatory free agents up to a maximum of four. In some
cases team receive picks even though they did not suffer a net loss of
compensatory free agents. Under the formula, the compensatory
free agents these teams lost were ranked higher than the ones
they signed (based on salary and performance). No compensatory picks
are higher than the third round.

Because it is. The League won't release the formula used.

Herndon does not count for the formula so we're down to 3 picks at the moment.

In order to qualify for the comp equation, a player must have been a true Unrestricted Free Agent whose contract had expired or was voided after the previous season (i.e., he cannot have been released by his old team); he must sign during the UFA signing period (which ended on July 22 last year); if he signs after June 1, he must have been tendered a June 1 qualifying offer by his old team; he must sign for at least a certain amount of money per season; and he cannot have been permanently released by his new team before a certain point in the season (which seems to be after Week 10) or, possibly, before getting a certain amount of playing time. One potential qualify-ing player this year, Mike Compton, was released by Jacksonville on Sept. 5 and then re-signed on Sept. 23. Because players who were released and re-signed by the same team in the past have quali-fied for the comp equation, I am projecting that Compton will qualify this year.

With those 2 DT's alongside him he'll be a 3rd rounder for sure.

Good find Eddie! Just as I thought.
