April 6 at 4:02pm ·While NFL teams are not permitted to trade compensatory picks for the 2016 draft, the 32 clubs were notified today by the league that they may make trades that involve prospective 2017 and 2018 compensatory picks from the period starting at the beginning of the 2016 league year and up until the start of the 2016 draft.
With the possibility of teams receiving multiple compensatory picks in a single round, it must specify which compensatory selection is involved in the transaction.
From the release: “For example, if a club trades its 2017 fifth-round selection, the trade may include the following condition: If the club is awarded a fourth-round compensatory selection in 2017, the club will trade the 2017 fourth-round compensatory selection in lieu of the 2017 fifth-round selection. If the club is awarded multiple 2017 fourth-round compensatory selections, it will trade the compensatory selection that is closest to the end of the round.”So, even if you don’t know for sure what comp picks you have, you can write it as sort of a condition.
The memo also notes that effective at the start of the 2016 NFL draft and up until the 2016 trading deadline, NFL teams are permitted to trade draft picks for 2016-2019, including prospective compensatory picks in 2017-2019.
Once the 2017 league begins and compensatory picks have been awarded, teams are able to trade those 2017 compensatory picks without contingency.
Expect there to be plenty of wheeling and dealing come April 28-30.
