The Chiefs were never going to receive a Comp Pick for Frank Clark because he was traded to the Chiefs from Seattle.
The Chiefs were never going to receive a Comp Pick for Justin Houston because he was cut by the Chiefs.
So being cut is calculated different than a contract expiring....much like Bell with the Jets.
They get nothing since he is still under contract and being payed...like KC paying Houston to leave.
Comp picks are only awarded for bonafide FAs with no lingering contractual baggage....like if they signed Thomas for 5 games. Is there a requirement for how long the tenure has to be...before being eligible for compensation? [Reply]
I hope I'm wrong, but I'll go on record as "meh" on this signing.
I know the improvement at RB isn't a bad thing, but I've just never been a big fan of his running style and I don't think it works with this Oline and blocking scheme. [Reply]

I just don't know how they even win a single game this year. They've traded away or cut their best talent, CJ Mosley opted out and their roster mainly consists of garbage players.

Don't you dare. Flacco is much better than Darnold.
Much better. [Reply]

I'm also curious if, hypothetically, cheaply acquiring Earl Thomas for a late season SB push...would prove a good investment from a comp pick standpoint. He'll get paid decently next year once he redeems himself.
Drop the Earl Thomas thing, man.
The dude can't run anymore. He was a liability for the Ravens last season, a cancer for them this season and not deemed worth signing by ANYONE this season.
He's a name. That's it. He can't run anymore and he thinks he's still the same guy from 5-6 years ago.
I'm not interested in another Ron Parker type-liability. [Reply]

It would be shocking if they go 1-15.
Agreed. They’re a lock for #1 overall. The Giants will beat the Redskins once or twice. And the Falcons will win a game or two when Julio gets healthy. [Reply]

He had 66 receptions for 461 yards last year.
He would have been the 4th-best receiver (after Sammy Watkins) on a Chiefs team that is loaded with pass catchers.
As a RB, he's a backup. Nothing more. As a pass catcher, he's a potential difference maker, especially considering Sammy Watkins is out for a bit.
