Can't Trade SF Pick? - New England Patriots Forums

JR4 · 11-20-2007, 09:41 AM

I didn't see a discussion on this but someone just told me that
Eisen on NFL Network said PATs can't trade the SF Pick.

Anyone else hear this? Does anyone know of a rule that would make this so?

They can trade the pick.

If the pick was a compensatory pick they couldn't trade it.

I have neve heard of any rule like that and i doubt very seriously the NFL would make a team make a pick

I doubt it was in reference to a rule or ruling. More of a refrence that trading out of a top pick is not a regular occurance and to match the "value chart" it would be near impossible to get the value given the salary cap tied up in a top 5 pick.

Does it have to do with propagating a pick a number of times

Hawks pick for Deion -> That Pick for SF's 1st Pick ->> .....

Is there a limit to number times this can be done?

They can trade the SF pick, only FA compensation picks can't be traded.

Didn't see it, so let me ask you: are you sure he said that they can't trade it, or is it possible he said they won't be able to trade it?

The latter is, in fact, a distinct possibility, though not a likely one.

I did not hear it. This is second hand and it was apparently said on
NFL Access. It may not have been Eisen it could have been Schefter or
one of the other commentators.
