Are the Seahawks protecting potential comp picks?

[kf3339]

But if I read this right, we get more picks if these guys sign some where else, correct? The two other 4th rounders if 2 sign elsewhere?


Luke Joeckel
Jeremy Lane
Eddie Lacy
Luke Willson
Michael Wilhoite
Blair Walsh
Marcus Smith
Oday Aboushi
Byron Maxwell
Terence Garvin
Austin Davis
Dewey McDonald
Mike Davis
Christian French
Garrison Smith
Thomas Rawls

Sort of. They must sign with a new team before the first Tuesday after the draft. They must be signed to a contract that would qualify (no minimum bullshit... which most of those guys might get offered. It's estimated they must have a contract in the top 50 percentile of NFL contracts to qualify) They also have to make it on their new team until week 10. Finally the Seahawks also have to not sign anyone else, which is unlikely given that they still don't have a full roster, much less anywhere close to a 90 man.

Also they don't disqualify the lowest comp pick. You'd need one of these guys to sign a $10 million contract to get another 4th rounder, which is unlikely as hell. PC/JS are the one guys paying Jockel that kinda money.

There is not a guy on that list who is getting anything close to a contract that will get us a comp pick of any meaning. More than likely we are finished with any more picks for 2019.

They don’t have to get into a high enough round to have meaning, they just have to qualify as CFA to cancel out some of the players we have gained and get us our 4th rounder(s) back.

Still, I’m not sure any of those players will get big enough contracts to make it even into the lowest rounds.

and the biggest caveat for someone like Tobin signed by Patriots - they need to stay on the roster through week 10.....
