LostInDaJungle Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Quote According to Jim Owczarski of the Cincinnati Enquirer, the Bengals negotiated a $2 million workout bonus into the one-year, $5 million deal for the former Bills linebacker. That’s partly as a reward to land the productive inside linebacker, who will need to play a big role to start the season with Vontaze Burfict suspended (again). But it’s also a bit of a dodge to the compensatory pick formula, since workout bonuses aren’t factored in to the equation (while roster and signing bonuses and base salary are). Mike Brown and Katie Blackburn - Guardians of the compensatory picks! The lengths they're willing to go to for an extra pick at the end of the 6th round... It's just amazing.

sparky151 Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 The comp pick formula is secret. How do they know workout bonuses aren't included, especially since most such bonuses are much smaller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do they know workout bonuses aren't included, especially since most such bonuses are much smaller? Determining Adjusted APY The first phase necessary to execute these cancellations are to value each UFA that changed teams. OTC’s program does this by using the following steps: Start with the actual APY of the contract signed. Subtract from the actual APY any money that the compensatory formula does not count. It has been determined that workout bonuses, incentives, and salary escalators are the most common money figures that the compensatory formula does not count. Adjust the APY by applying a coefficient based upon the percentage of offensive or defensive snaps the player took in his first year under the contract. Apply a positive coefficient to each UFA that obtained postseason honors. Currently, there is not enough data for OTC to reliably apply the coefficient. However, it is believed that postseason honors adjustments are smaller than playing time adjustments, and there are typically very few relevant CFAs that obtain them to begin with. It is believed that the postseason honors used in the compensatory formula are the ones explicitly listed in the CBA. These honors are Pro Bowl, All-NFL (First and Second Team), All-Conference (First and Second Team), Super Bowl MVP, NFL MVP, Offensive Player of the Year (NFL or Conference), Defensive Player of the Year (NFL or Conference), and Player of the Year (NFL or Conference).

|schotzee| Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 I wouldn't mind them worrying about them so much if they used them more as packages for tradeups for guys they are really high on. Maybe they try, Idk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatternMaster Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 It's like the Brown family cares more about getting free draft picks for cheap talent than actually winning games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
