His departure figures into our compensatory picks next year, yes?

IIRC it's tied more to contract, rather than performance. The deal we signed with Foles pretty much guarantees comp picks are out of the question.

Not to get too wonky about it or derail the thread, it's attached to both, but you're correct.  From wiki (sorry, feeling lazy):

"The placement of picks is determined by a proprietary formula based on the player's average annual salary, playing time, and postseason honors with his new team, with salary being the primary factor. So, for example, a team that lost a linebacker who signed for $2.5 million per year in free agency might get a sixth-round compensatory pick, while a team that lost a wide receiver who signed for $5 million per year might receive a fourth-round pick."

My understanding is that if we lose more "good" players in free agency than we got from free agency, we may get a compensatory pick.  We were awarded one this year, but I can't remember for whom.  I think it's more if Foles lights it up Philly will get a comp pick more than Jax would lose a compensatory pick.

So I hope both Foles and Yeldon light it up.
