On Monday, teams can sign free agents without the moves being calculated into the compensatory pick formula. That’s why Tyrann Mathieu chose to sign with the New Orleans Saints on Monday, over the Los Angeles Rams and other teams, because franchises were waiting until after the draft before entertaining a contract for him and other like free agents.
With the comp formula all but set, how many extra picks does that mean for the Rams in 2023? It looks like four will be the magic number.
According to OvertheCap.com, the Rams should receive fifth round picks for the losses of Darious Williams (Jaguars) and Austin Corbett (Panthers), a sixth round pick for Sebastian Joseph-Day (Chargers), and a seventh for Ogbonnia Okoronkwo (Texans).
