Kampman tears ACL, out for the year.

#Jaguars announce that former #Packers DE Aaron Kampman tore ACL in practice and is out for year. Not same knee as last year, but still.

That's too bad. He was having a decent year for the Jags.

ain't that the way it always seems to go? Next, we'll be hearing Al Harris have the same thing happen to HIS other knee. What a bad break. (Hope we still get a third rounder...)

Crap. He's way too nice a guy for this kind of bad luck.

I think I just heard a 3rd round draft pick turning into a 4 or 5.

Bummer. He's a good guy and I hope his recovery for next season goes well.

Upstanding person and football player. Hope he makes a full recovery.

I'm not sure how much this will change that. While no one ever explains for sure just how they calculate the compensation, some of the factors are known. A few years back an article explained that the "playing time" component of the calculation was very gross in nature. Was he a starter for you? Was he a starter for his new team? Was he a backup? Part of a playing rotation, etc. The article stated that a player injured during the season does not decrease that part of the value.

My personal feeling is that contract value is a big part of it. If Team B signs player X at a reasonable contract, Team A could have kept him at a reasonable cost, and therefore doesn't deserve much compensation for the loss.

In the end, I think they just draw it out of a hat anyway!

Right. There is a guy somewhere on the interweb that predicts it every year. He has a good feel for the equation because he's almost always right on. Contract is by far the greatest factor, from what I've heard. . . . .

We should still get a nice pick for him.

Not sure how high a pick it will be, regardless. Perhaps not a third injured or not.

Apparently, he signed a $26M, 4-year contract. $11 million payable this year and guaranteed based on a $10 million bonus and a $1 million salary. The contract average of $6.5 per year would put him at around #18 in DE compensation based on 2009 cap impact numbers for DEs. The one year compensation of $11 million would have been the 7th highest for DEs in 2009.

You guys are obsessed with your picks. I'll always remember the full page ad Kamp took out when he left the team thanking the Packers, the fans and the community. Totally upstanding dude. May he recover strong and play well in the future.

Not really. Just something to talk about during an off week.
