"Decoding Dallas Cowboys' Free Agency Silence and Offensive Targets"

The Dallas Cowboys have been notably quiet in free agency, but the lack of signings is due to the team's consideration of compensatory picks. Compensatory picks are awarded to teams that lose more qualified free agents than they sign, and the Cowboys are currently in a position to potentially receive picks ranging from the 4th to 6th round in the 2025 draft. This uncertainty has led the team to be cautious about signing incoming free agents, as doing so could cancel out potential compensatory picks. However, once the fate of their remaining free agents is determined, the Cowboys may become more active in the free agent market.

"2024 NFL Draft Order Revised with Compensatory Picks"

The NFL has revised the list of 2024 compensatory draft picks due to an error in the calculation of free-agency losses in 2023, resulting in the Bengals receiving a third-round compensatory pick and a sixth-round compensatory pick instead of two sixth-round picks. The Bengals will now receive the 97th and 214th picks, with the error attributed to the "honors" calculation in the compensatory-pick formula.

"2024 NFL Draft: Bengals Gain Third-Round Pick, Eagles and Other Teams Lose Capital"

The NFL management council corrected an error in the compensatory pick distribution, awarding the Cincinnati Bengals a third-round compensatory draft pick (No. 97) in addition to a sixth-round pick (No. 214). The error stemmed from misjudging the value of free agent departures and signings, resulting in the Bengals gaining an extra pick at the end of the third round. This adjustment gives Cincinnati a pick in every round of the upcoming NFL Draft, except for two picks in the third and two in the sixth rounds.

Despite originally having nine picks, a trade with the Falcons resulted in one pick being deferred to 2025.

49ers' 2024 NFL Draft picks impacted by Chase Young trade

The San Francisco 49ers are projected to have 11 picks in the 2024 NFL Draft, despite trading for defensive end Chase Young. The team gave up their third-round compensatory pick to the Washington Commanders in the trade. However, they have taken advantage of the NFL's compensatory formula and could benefit from Young's addition. The 49ers will have Young for the remainder of the season before he becomes an unrestricted free agent in March. If Young signs elsewhere, the 49ers could gain a compensatory pick in 2025. Additionally, the 49ers are expected to receive multiple compensatory picks for net free-agent losses in the offseason.
