Does Fields taking over as QB in Chicago affect Dalton's comp pick?

[J12B]

We are projected to get a 4th round comp pick for Andy Dalton signing with Chicago.

But now with Fields as the starter, Dalton won't be getting any snaps which I believe factors into the comp pick determination.

Anyone know if this is going to drop our comp pick to a 5th instead of a 4th?

No. I believe it's based on the contract he signs, not playing time

I thought playing time was also a factor? Or is that only in play if his contract is based off playing time incentives?

Yes it depends on any incentives and the final value of the contract.
If he is released before the deadline date, then we receive nothing.

Over the cap now shows it as a possible 5th round pick. Before the season it was a 4th.

This is usually pretty accurate.

It's a mix of contract and play time/performance.

@AdamJT13 did such a good job with making the public aware of the formula OTC credits him for his contributions.



App. V, §2 lays out the process of calculating the value of CFAs. §2(a) begins the calculation as follows to all players in the league

1. Start with the Average Per Year (APY) of the contract signed.
2. Subtract from the APY any money that the compensatory formula does not count3.
3. Rank these players by adjusted APY in descending order, and assign points to each player, equal to [number of leaguewide players]-[rank].
4. Add anywhere from 25 to 100 points for players who played a percentage of snaps on offense or defense in the range of 25% to 100%. (Kickers and punters are given a different point addition unrelated to snap counts.)
5. Add 20 or 5 points for postseason honors as determined by the AP’s All Pro list, and the PFWA’s All NFL/All Conference list.
