The NFL free agency period officially begins Wednesday afternoon at 4 pm New York time, and there has already been a lot of movement around the league. That movement has brought a lot of discussion regarding comp picks that a team might receive, so this piece is here in order to address many of those questions for the fans who wish to learn more about the comp pick system. Much of this article is cut and pasted from the Q&A on the subject I did last year during free agency, but I have gone through and changed the names of players to update it for relevancy since the best way to learn the workings of a system is through examples.
