NFL Coaching Rumors and Moves

Vernon Davis: “I’d love to catch passes from Donovan McNabb” | ProFootballTalk (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/01/12/vernon-davis-id-love-to-catch-passes-from-donovan-mcnabb/)

The worms at Candlestick Park are currently in the process of executing a mass migration.

Sure, bring in Vernon.

We'll do a trips formation with 3 TEs.
I think Vernon Davis was referring to the recent speculation of McNabb leaving Washington for San Francisco.

Or were you kidding?

Dallas fan...I should not be surprised.

Childress interviewing for the Dolphins OC job...could be a step closer to my earlier prediction of McNabb in Miami next year

Miami Dolphins to talk to Brad Childress about coaching O - ESPN (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=6017674)

Miami certainly doesnt have a starting-caliber incumbent QB on the roster and Childress is likely the only coach who would consider giving up anything for McNabb. I would be thrilled if we got a 4th for McNabb, but doubt we could get more than a 5th.

Strangely enough, we were all excited after the McNabb extension because it would give us the right to trade him if things didnt work out. Hoewver, if we had just let McNabb walk away after this season under the terms of his previous contract, we likely would have gotten a 3rd or 4th round compesnatory pick in 2012. By signing him to an extension, publically humiliating, and letting the entire league know he was not part of our future plans, we dramatically REDUCED the compensation we would receive when we let him go.

Per ESPN, more importantly - as discussed in the sam bradford thread, Pat Shurmur is the new Browns head coach.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but there are no compensatory picks for players traded for. You only get comp. picks for players you drafted that later left as free agents. Again, I'm not positive, someone set it straight if you know.

I missed that prediciton. I would've been shocked, but now if Childress goes there it of course makes sense. The Tuna is in some backseat consulting role there right? His presence will make it harder to get value for DM. We need some payback from the JT trade. One 34 year old for a 2nd & 6th deserves the same in return!

McNabb in Miami? Makes sense.

We did get a comp. pick for Brunell. I think we used it to fetch Marko Mitchell.

Compensatory picks

In addition to the 32 picks in each round, there are a total of 32 picks awarded at the ends of Rounds 3 through 7. These picks, known as "compensatory picks," are awarded to teams that have lost more qualifying free agents than they gained the previous year in free agency. Teams that gain and lose the same number of players but lose higher-valued players than they gain also can be awarded a pick, but only in the seventh round, after the other compensatory picks. Compensatory picks cannot be traded, and the placement of the picks is determined by a proprietary formula based on the player's salary, playing time, and postseason honors with his new team, with salary being the primary factor. So, for example, a team that lost a linebacker who signed for $2.5 million per year in free agency might get a sixth-round compensatory pick, while a team that lost a wide receiver who signed for $5 million per year might receive a fourth-round pick.

If fewer than 32 such picks are awarded, the remaining picks are awarded in the order in which teams would pick in a hypothetical eighth round of the draft (These are known as "supplemental compensatory selections").

Compensatory picks are awarded each year at the NFL annual meeting which is held at the end of March; typically, about three or four weeks before the draft.National Football League Draft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Football_League_Draft)
