I doubt it plays a role in the front end of the Bengals trying to sign their own guys back at the price they want.
However, it will play a role when it comes to how much the team will be willing to offer another team's free agent.
Would the team give up a 3rd round compensation pick to sign someone else's free agent at a similar price to what a Bengal signed elsewhere for? Probably not.
Instead, they'll look at the bargain bin and guys cut from other teams, as usual. That's the way they've done it at times in the past. Compensation picks are largely based on contract size and a player cut from another team doesn't subtract any compensation picks.
Nelson, Marvin Jones and Adam Jones, and even Andre Smith could get big enough contracts to warrant compensation picks for the Bengals next year.
I'm assuming the team tags Iloka.
