The NFL’s compensatory formula is just one of many confusing processes in the league. But according to Over The Cap’s trusted experts, they anticipate the Pittsburgh Steelers netting a late 7th round pick for Brice McCain in the 2016 NFL Draft.
The Steelers are projected to receive the next-to-last compensation pick, mainly centered around McCain’s $2.75 million average yearly value. McCain signed a two year, $5.5 million contract with the Miami Dolphins in the offseason. McCain has been somewhat limited by a knee injury, playing just 62.1% of the snaps in 2015.
