Good article on the impact of Comp Picks on free agency, and how the next wave of FA may not be until after May 7...

https://deadspin.com/how-the-rise-of-comp-picks-is-chilling-nfl-free-agency-1833782354

Compensatory picks have been a low-key feature of the NFL draft since 1994, the year after free agency finally became a thing. But this offseason, more and more teams appear to be finessing the free agency system in an attempt to to stockpile comp picks. And it’s created something of a freeze on the free agent market.

...Timing is important because any free agents signed after May 7—the second Tuesday after the draft—won’t count against a team’s comp pick formula. As a result, teams would prefer to wait things out, and so veteran free agents run the risk of losing a potential roster spot to a much cheaper draft pick.

Source: The #Giants are finalizing a four-year, $41 million extension with WR Sterling Shepard, source says. Their longest-tenured receiver is now their highest-paid. Strong deal for Shepard, who gets more than what most free agent WRs got this spring.

The #Falcons are signing former AAF DE Chris Odom of the Salt Lake Stallions, source said. He’d previously been with Atlanta in 2017, though he was claimed away after they tried to put him on the practice squad. Now he’s back.

Source: the Chargers and WR Travis Benjamin have agreed to a one-year extension through 2020. It includes a $5.5M signing bonus, while his base salary for 2019 reduces from $5.25M to $1M. Benjamin’s roster spot for 2019 is secured, while the team creates $2.75M in cap space.
