About this listen
We’ll take you back to the 1990s, when the salary cap and free agency collided, and show how the Final Numerical Value formula determines which teams get rewarded for losing players. You’ll learn why the 2017 rule change that made comp picks tradable changed everything, how front offices like the Ravens and 49ers have mastered the system, and which all-time greats — like Larry Allen and Hines Ward — were once just “extra” draft selections. From formulas and loopholes to case studies and future trends, this episode reveals how the NFL’s smartest teams turn losses into leverage.
If you geek out over salary caps and draft charts like we do, come check us out on X, TikTok, and Instagram for more deep dives like this — and don’t forget to drop a rating and review. It helps other NFL number nerds find the show!
