Calculating Steelers Comp Pick Haul | Steelers Morning Rush
Episode Description
Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's how much the Steelers have coming their way in compensatory draft picks after Omar Khan gamed the system during free agency.
Comp picks are given out to NFL teams that lose more than they gain in the free agency process, but only certain types of players apply to the formula. By making his big move via trade for DK Metcalf, and also adding Darius Slay after he was released by the Philadelphia Eagles, Khan was able to preserve the Steelers' top comp pick slots from being canceled out by his own actions.
With Dan Moore Jr., Najee Harris, Justin Fields, Donte Jackson, James Daniels and Mike Williams all signing elsewhere as countable free agents so far, and only Mason Rudolph and Malik Harrison on the other side of the ledger, the Steelers are in line for quite a comp pick haul.
Alan breaks it down.
