Washington won't be receiving compensatory picks in 2024

Over the years, Washington has been one of the worst teams in the league at collecting compensatory draft picks, so it was a pleasant surprise when - for the first time since 2019 - Washington generated two compensatory picks for the 2023 draft last year.The comp pick capital for those two picks was gained by letting Brandon Scherff and Tim Settle walk in free agency for contracts that were sufficiently large - $16.5M and $4.5M APY, respectively - that they met the compensatory pick cut off threshold, while at the same time passing on signing any free agents who would have cancelled them out.

As the offseason rolls forward, Washington is surely starting the process of determining which of its free agents to re-sign and which to let walk, in addition to scouring the field of the potential free agents leaving other teams to pursue over the coming months.Last May, I wrote about Washington positioning itself for two compensatory picks in the upcoming draft:

Best NFL Prop Bets for Cowboys vs. Commanders in Week 18 (Third QB's the Charm?)

The Dallas Cowboys still have an outside shot at winning the NFC East, but if not they're still in the playoffs.That ship has sailed for the Commanders, even if Ron Rivera didn't know that it was leaving.Taylor Heinicke just couldn't stop turning the ball over and then Carson Wentz was even worse, so now it's Sam Howell time in Washington and a rookie quarterback is at least a reason to tune in.
