PS player DT Rennell Wren has been signed to a 2022 contract by the Eagles. Wren a 2019 4th round pick had a promising start in his rookie year only to be lost for the season with a preseason quad tear in 2020. He spent all of 2021 on the PS only playing in the season-ending Cleveland game where he injured his knee.
Jonah Williams, Drew Sample, Germaine Pratt and Trayveon Willams are the only ones left from Zac's first draft and I don't see Trayveon making the team in 2022

If you get 2 good starters from a draft class that has to be seen as fairly successful. So as weak as Taylor’s first draft was (particularly that 2nd round pick…) at least we got that with Jonah and Pratt.

Best of luck to Wren in Philly. Honestly, I don't think he had much of a shot at making the 53 on this team, anyway.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

Agreed. Haven't seen enough to be bummed about moving on. Glad to see Jordan Willis stick around and contribute in SF.
Does anybody know if losing a guy off of the PS increase the FA losses at all for ammo in the battle for compensatory picks?
I know that the Bengals picked up too many FAs last year to qualify anyway, I was just never sure if you get rewarded for supplying players to other teams in the league after covering their pay and training for 3 years.

There is no compensation for players such as Wren. His service contract ended after the Super Bowl and the Bengals opted not to offer him a futures contract.

Thanks.
I know soccer has a founders fee that sometimes goes all the way back to the youth league, I just never knew the NFL's rules on it.
I remember getting stuck watching a Cowboys game at a friend's house a few years ago and the announcer mentioned after a DT injury that one of the teams was thin at the position because they've had two DTs signed off of their PS the last 2 weeks. The other announcer added that they had three PS players plucked in the last 5 weeks. I always wondered about it after that comment.
