Nfl announces 32 compensatory draft choices to 16 clubs

The Saints only lost two big-time free agents last season: Meachem and Nicks. Neither had significant playing time and neither received any post-season awards. They both made lots of money, but that is only one part of the equation that determines compensation.

THEREFORE, THE SAINTS DID NOT RECEIVE ANY COMPENSATORY PICKS.

There isn't any scandel here folks.

Next year, if Bushrod gets significant playing time and offseason awards, that will work in the Saints favor in gaining comp picks. But then again, they have already signed Keenan Lewis, and probably aren't done yet with free agency. If the Saints sign Lewis and Asomugha...they will NOT receive any comp picks. You have to lose more than you gain to get comp picks.
