Vic, do you know of any veterans that are at risk of being cut before the new league year, like Julius Peppers was by Chicago? That type of free agent doesn’t count toward the compensatory picks, right?
That’s right. Charles Woodson is another example of a player who was released prior to the start of free agency, therefore, he didn’t count against the Raiders in compensatory picks consideration. They are better known as “cap casualties,” and there will be more of them as we near the start of the league calendar year, new-cap compliance and free agency.
