Then how did the Pats get #97 for Donte Stallworth? Same deal. (declined option)
If wilfork signs for 6mill as some have speculated, we could add close to 200pts to our draft value next year.
Thats about the same as us moving all our picks up from 32 to 26, which doesnt sound like a ton, but definitely opens up a lot of possibilities.
We can also hope that we get picks if Connoly and Ridley get signed to..both most likely 6th and 7th round guys.
Someone else posted this nice overview of compensatory picks in one of the threads here: http://overthecap.com/compensatory-draft-picks-cancellation-chart/

The maximum amount of picks you can get is 4.
The Patriots received compensation in 1997 from the Jets for tampering with Bill Parcells in the form of four draft choices: "The Patriots received third and fourth-round picks in the 1997 NFL Draft, a second-round pick in the 1998 NFL Draft, and a first-round pick in the 1999 NFL Draft in compensation for allowing Parcells to become the Jets' head coach.[12]"

Ayers got a 2-year deal for $6 million, $3M apy, with incentives up to $10M.
Which puts him in 6th round comp territory.

On the other hand should that (departure of Connolly and Ridley) happen, then the Patriots could sign two more free agents that have not been cut by other teams, and still retain their current compensatory position of four additional draft picks in 2016.
Would the APY go up if those incentives are likely to be earned (if it applies)? I doubt they have had a chance to analyze that yet.
