Brady signed 2yr/$50m
Newton signed 1yr/$1.75m
Pretty positive contract size matters for comp picks. Also... they lost Jamie Collins who got a 3yr/$30m deal with the Lions, Kyle Van Noy who got a 4yr/$51m deal with the Dolphins (plus some other guys on minor contracts).
Patriots keep getting a 3rd rounder because they keep letting players leave in FA. They will probably have a 3rd rounder next year too because of Thuney (they traded for his replacement, so it doesn't count against getting a comp pick).
