Then how did the Pats get #97 for Donte Stallworth? Same deal. (declined option)
Yes, I was. Thank youI think he's agreeing with you.
Is this confirmed? That, and the Jets' #1 for tampering would take some of the sting out of this.
IIRC the Pats didn't pick up Stallworth's option in 2008 and received a 5th round compensatory pick the next year. That is the precedent Miguel cited for receiving comp picks for not picking up the option on a player. The highest comp pick is at the end of the third round depending on size of the contract, length and player's performance (i.e. Pro Bowl, All-Pro).
Using that logic, would the Pats then receive comp picks for Revis, Wilfolk and Browner (if the last two are signed by other teams) as well as Vereen who left as a FA??? And comp picks are offset by players the team signs...
3rd Round PickHow does that work and what can we expect ?
