The Los Angeles Rams love compensatory picks—they will get the maximum amount again in 2022 once those are announced—so it would behoove general manager Les Snead to avoid signing unrestricted free agents next week as that could offset the potential returns next year depending on the futures of Von Miller, Odell Beckham, Jr., Darious Williams, Joseph Noteboom, and so on.
Essentially, if Miller gets a massive deal from the Broncos that would net the Rams a 2023 third round compensatory pick, but LA then signs a comparable free agent, then that would offset the signing and Snead wouldn’t get the third rounder.
