With free agency in full swing, we are starting to get an idea of the compensatory picks the Tennessee Titans might have in 2024.
Of course, this will remain a fluid situation until free agency dies down, but as of right now the Titans are set to have one compensatory pick in the fourth round in 2024, per Nick Korte of Over the Cap.
Tennessee signing offensive tackle Andre Dillard and edge rusher Arden Key negated the sixth-round picks they would have received for losing both David Long and DeMarcus Walker.
However, Nate Davis signing with the Chicago Bears put the fourth-rounder in Tennessee’s column. The signings of Azeez Al-Shaair and Daniel Brunskill do not factor into the compensatory pick formula.
Here’s a basic explanation at how comp picks are determined, per Over the Cap. Click the link if you’re interested in a deeper dive.
In plain English, if a team loses more players that qualify as CFAs than it signs during free agency, that team is eligible to be awarded compensatory picks in the following NFL draft.
It is important to note that only certain players qualify for the compensatory formula. Those are only players whose contracts expire. Players who are cut are the most common example of free agents ineligible to become CFAs, but other methods of disqualification, such as a Restricted Free Agent not given a tender, also exist. In its most general sense, players only become Compensatory Free Agents if they are free to leave their old team against that team’s will.
