    .... and flying under the fan radar. This is one guy who is super happy for all of the Mr. Big Chest media frenzy right now. Limelight isn't on him at the moment.

    Re: Leveon Bell is a Free Agent

    So do we now not get a comp pick ?
    or do we?
    Can someone explain to me how the comp pick works?
    Can someone do my taxes?

    I'm confused.

    I think we get a 2020 3rd round pick barring some technicalities on how many free agents we sign. Could be a 3rd rounder or nothing at all, sorry that's not much help I'm sure someone else knows more on this subject than i do

    This affects nothing with comp picks.

    As far as the overall way of determining comp picks, it is a Top Secret black box, but basically all you need to know is that it is guaranteed to give us garbage.

    Also, while most teams seem to get their gains and losses consolidated into a single comp pick that is either garbage or slightly less garbage, the Patriots get it spread out across multiple low picks for each player for some reason, and since all comp picks are in the quantity-over-quality part of the draft, that works out pretty well for them.

    I wouldn't say they're all garbage. Wasn't Hines Ward a rd. 3 comp pick?

    Yes, and we got Brown in the 6th round, but that does not mean your usual 6th round pick is going to be anything other than garbage. Both cases are just the same random chance that you might get lucky with any pick. Like I said, quantity over quality at that point in the draft.

    All a comp pick means is you get "a guy." It's about the most whatever-ish kind of afterthought to a transaction that there is.

    Re: Leveon Bell is a Free Agent

    Let’s see what he gets

    If Bell’s agent says Bell is comparable to Todd Gurley my response would be that is true - both were injured and non- factors in their conference championship game appearances, so why would I risk a break the bank contract for a RB with a history of getting injured

    Good for him. Some team will overpay for him and he'll complain again.

    It doesn't matter how big of a contract either Brown or Bell gets. As soon as another player gets a bigger, better one (which will happen within a year), both of them will start taking temper tantrums again because the contract they signed isn't good enough any more.

    I bet if Martin Luther King were alive, he'd be pretty pissed at someone using his quote like that. Completely missing the point of his famous "I Have a Drink" speech.

    should have tagged him. It sets a precedent that all you have to do is not show up for a season and then can walk. What good is having the franchise tag in the CBA then?

    He probably got the idea from his idiot agent, who also equates the NFL to modern day "slavery."

    I agree. Might have to amend it to "I have seen the promised land....a land of $14million dollars for playing a game ...and I have chosen to blaze a new path of smoking weed and riding jet skis."

    Whatever, if a guy is willing to go a whole season of aging without pay so be it . He took his lumps to get what he wants. Buy I'll bet LBs contract will not be near what he expects and eventually dumbasses will.learn to take the cash pay the game and make more cash

    Wouldn't that make him the modern day equivalent to a slave trader?

    Nothing would make me happier than for him and Mr. Big Chest to begin a steep decline this season. May they both be blessed with poor o line play, bad QBs and lose a step to Father Time.

    Outside of Ray Lewis I rarely wish players bad will but these two will be high on my wish list this coming season. Kind wish they both end up with Jets or bills and experience great heart break
