NFL Announces Compensation Picks Rewarded To Teams For 2017 Season

NFL fans are often heartbroken when their players leave in free agency. Unlike most other sports, the NFL rewards team with a draft pick compensation to teams that are unable to retain their pending free agents. The NFL has announced which teams will receive draft picks for losing free agents from the 2016 offseason.

The hilarious part of this offseason might be that the Broncos received a 3rd round pick for losing Brock Osweiler. My esteemed colleague recently put together a list of potential free agent busts for this upcoming offseason. It’s normally smart business to just let your mediocre free agents walk replacing them with draft picks. Below is the official formula for computing the comp picks via NFL.com.
