Eligibility for comp
#11
Meh, I kind of see it like the WB suggestion. I don't necessarily see it adding to compensation. A guy like Curt Wine was going to be compensated regardless. In fact encouraging a trade drops him from Type A to Type B, which helps 2nd round picks hold their value.

Removing Type B is counterproductive. Those are the more likely players headed for FA. No encouragement for FA is going to lead to even worse FA classes. It's also interesting to me that a team like MIN signed the players that they did. I think a guy like Lovell Jones was headed back to WAS. Instead WAS gets comp and pushes the MIN 3rd rounder back another pick. I get wanting to increase payroll so you don't lose money to the "luxury tax", but I would like to think signing a non-comp FA where you're not decreasing the value of your own picks would be the better option.

If we're to look at anything, I think we look at increasing the fallback prices. If people tend to think they're cheap and worth the gamble, let's up the ante! I'd say the height of where we'd got would be 18/10 and middle ground from where we're at now would be about 16/8.5.
