The comp pick formula has many points to it. Generally, the larger the contract the higher the comp pick. But there are other factors that can affect that pick, such as player age, length of time with the team they left and length and dollar amount of the new deal.

Given Ross' lack of production, except for one game, he'll likely get a 1 year prove it deal for peanuts, which could result in no comp pick at all.

Most likely no other team is offering anything of value for Ross and they may even want the Bengals to pick up most of Ross' salary to boot, which is why he's still a Bengal. Ross was a big gamble when the Bengals drafted him. But after 4 years he's gotta be considered a huge risk for any team who signs him given that he's a proven failure who needs resurrected. Two head coaches have thrown him under the bus as it is.

The player most likely to deliver a 3rd round comp pick for the Bengals is Willie Jackson, if the team doesn't re-sign him. I believe the team should re-sign him, but who the hell knows what the Bengals will do.
