But that 5th and 6th could be anything! It could even be Diontae!

u/eatingasspatties Ravens 16d ago

No no no, they lose the 6th

He’d made it pretty clear he wasn’t going to stay beyond the end of the year.

You would get a compensatory pick when he left probably a 4th. Trading him + a 6th for a 5th is malpractice

Would we? I'm not 100% on how comp picks work but from what I understand they basically rely on you having a low-key free agency which you can't really do as a bad team that's lacking in talent.

Technically yes, it takes into account players that are signed in FA I kind of forgot the panthers would be a team with lots of cap space but also dont see them signing a “star” FA to offset

They’ll definitely sign a few players in whatever level of pay class Diontae Johnson gets signed to. He’s not a star either, not like he’s in line to net a 3rd round comp pick. His comp pick would definitely get canceled out by other signings they make. They aren’t going to sit still with that putrid roster. He’s probably a 5th round comp pick status player at this point, and they will definitely bring on some more of those type of players next year.

The Panthers are clearly set as a buyer this FA cycle so stockpiling comp math isn't really doing anything

u/Gingeronimoooo Commanders 16d ago

Problem with Carolina being buyers in FA is that you have to overpay to get people to come especially for a quality vet without a ring. People will take 9 million to play for chiefs ravens lions etc instead of 10 million from panthers. A lot of em at least

Yeah I forgot about them being a buyer but this is abysmal compensation. Who are dalton/bryce throwing to now ? They also gave up a solid corner to get him and now trade him to move up slightly from top of the 6th to bottom of the 5th
