I think the comp picks will be few, but they should get at least 1 4th round pick, hopefully. Technically, they added the following players in FA:
- Juqua Thomas
- Kevin Curtis
- Will James
- Ian Scott
- Monte Reagor
The Players they lost in FA were:
- Stallworth
- Michael Lewis
- Jeff Garcia
- Rod hood
The Hood deal and Juqua Thomas deal should technically wash out. They each signed 5 years deals for about the same money, which is the biggest determining factor in the mystery comp pick process. Neither of them made the Pro Bowl, but Hood did start all 16 games while Thomas started only 7. That combined with the slight difference in money will make that a "net loss" and add to the comp picks.
Stallworth's deal is interesting because he's likely going to be waived. He was only guaranteed 1 year for $3.6 million and has an option bonus due this year if they want to keep him. To be honest, I'm not sure how they work deals like when it comes to comp picks. He did start 9 games, though.
Michael Lewis was reported to sign a 5 year $30 million deal that included a $10 million bonus, but later reports said he would compete for a starting job and his contract numbers were exaggerated. Essentially, the later reports stated he'd been given a 1 year deal with a large option bonus to "activate" the rest of the contract, same as Stallworth. This makes it another tricky deal to figure out. He did start all 16 games, though. This deal should be roughly the same value in dollars, guarantees, and number of starts to the one Curtis signed, so I'd consider these deals to cancel one another out.
Jeff Garcia signed a 2 year $7 million dollar deal with the Bucs and started 13 games.
When it's all said and done, it will come down to Stallworth, Garcia, and how much of a net loss Hood was for Juqua Thomas.
The Eagles also have 2 extra picks this year in the 6th and 7th round for the trades of Hank Fraley and Josh Parry a couple years back.
