FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NFL-13 4/1/02
NFL ANNOUNCES 32
COMPENSATORY DRAFT CHOICES TO 18 CLUBS
A
total of 32 compensatory choices in the 2002 NFL Draft have been awarded
to 18 teams, the NFL announced today.
Under
terms of the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement, a team losing more or
better compensatory free agents than it acquires in a year is
eligible to receive compensatory draft picks.
The
number of picks a team receives equals the net loss of compensatory
free agents up to a maximum of four. The 32 compensatory choices
announced today will supplement the 229 choices in the regular seven
rounds of the 2002 NFL Draft. This year, the compensatory picks will be
positioned within the third through seventh rounds based on the value of
the compensatory free agents lost.
Compensatory free agents are determined by a formula based on salary,
playing time and postseason honors. The formula was developed by the NFL
Management Council. Not every free agent lost or signed by a club is
covered by this formula.
One
club this year (Washington) will receive a compensatory pick even though
it did not suffer a net loss of compensatory free agents. Under the
formula, the compensatory free agents Washington lost were ranked higher
than the ones they signed by a specified point differential.
The
following 2002 draft picks have been determined by the NFL Management
Council:
