The compensentory pick forumula is complicated as hell. I don't think anyone knows exactly how it works because the league has never provided the actual written details. It's basically educated speculation as far as I know.
From what I understand, to even be eligible for them, you have to collectively lose more than you gain. Meaning, if we go out and sign some free agents next season, they would have to be "less than" the players who depart for us to be eligible. It's "total in" vs. "total out".
And even assuming that that happens (doubtful with our cap space), the picks you receive are based upon the contracts your departing players sign. So if John Ross signs some small deal we'd get a super low pick
