I'm not disagreeing with you, but I know years back that was not the case. A small (very small) component of the compensation calculation was actual performance, so cutting a player might change compensation by a round, or position in a round, but not a lot. I'm not surprised if that has changed.

I wonder if this also changes the compensation calculation for the team that "lost" the player as a free agent. Is he considered like a player who doesn't sign a free agent contract?

I wonder what the impact would be if a signed free agent misses his first year on IR?

I had no idea until earlier this week when I read an article about how the Bears should cut the guy because he’s had 8 plays from scrimmage all season.

Edit: found it.

If Belichick were in Cleveland again the first guy he would trade would be Haslem.

Might like a fellow cheat?

On free agency compensation:

In order to qualify for the comp equation, a player must have been a true Unrestricted Free Agent whose contract had expired or was voided after the previous season (i.e., he cannot have been released by his old team); he must sign during the UFA signing period (which ended July 27 last year); if he signs after June 1[*], he must have been tendered a June 1 qualifying offer by his old team; his compensatory value or contract value must be above a specific minimum amount; and he cannot have been permanently released by his new team before a certain point in the season (which seems to be after Week 10) or, possibly, before getting a certain amount of playing time, unless he was claimed off waivers by another team.

I’m just getting word from my representatives that the NFL league office reached out to them about a workout in Atlanta on Saturday. I’ve been in shape and ready for this for 3 years, can’t wait to see the head coaches and GMs on Saturday.

Kaepernick's workout will include on-field work and an interview. Video of the workout and interview will be made available to all 32 teams, as well.

Several teams have inquired to Kaepernick's readiness to play football, and Kaepernick and his representatives have expressed his desire to return to the NFL. The league has discussed possible steps with Kaepernick's camp, which emphasized that he is ready to work out for and be interviewed by NFL teams.

NFL Network's Steve Wyche reports, per league sources, that Kaepernick's workout will be run by scouting combine personnel and former NFL coaches. Any teams on hand can also hold interviews with Kaepernick, per Wyche.

NFC West team official on the Kaepernick workout this weekend: “This entire thing is a sham. The NFL is full of shit. It’s a show. But he should do it because some of us are sincere. Some of us see him for what he is: a good man.”

From a source with knowledge of the situation re: Kaepernick’s workout with NFL teams Saturday:

Out of the blue, league representatives from the league & their management council reached out to reps for Kaepernick + said they wanted to arrange a workout in front of the 32 teams

Kap’s representatives were told that the NFL needed an answer “in two hours” if Kaepernick planned to go through with the workout. A lot of people had to rearrange their schedules. They thought it conflicted with college football scouting schedules and NFL Sunday game day prep

[pbmax]

“It didn’t make a whole lot of sense” the source told me about the process. Kaepernick’s team asked if the workout could be done the following Tuesday or following Saturday. They were told it had to be this Saturday. “It didn’t seem tethered to anything,” the source said.


Kaepernick’s representatives made it clear that if the process was legitimate, and the key decision makers from all 32 teams were there then he would participate in the process. They asked that a personnel list be provided and the NFL they would get it to them on a rolling basis


The expectation is tomorrow & the coming days Kaepernick will get the lists form the NFL. The expectation, per the source, is that there will be reps from every team present. Source says there been no prior communications between Kaepernick & the league before this moment

The management council being involved is the give away. It’s likely CBA related.

Its the damn Keystone Cops every time.

After initially agreeing to provide the list of personnel executives and coaches that would attend Colin Kaepernick’s workout, the NFL has reversed course and said it will not, per sources.

@AdamSchefter
Several executives with teams have reached out as a courtesy to Colin Kaepernick’s representatives saying they couldn’t attend Saturday’s workout and were confused by the purpose of the NFL scheduling this workout.

Follow the money.

As long as he's not on the Packers, I could care less what he does.

He wants to start or have starter's money. Never going to happen.

Not about a contract or contract money.

Something bigger afoot.

Management Council means CBA. And not providing a list of teams and people attending means no on wants to be on record either way.
