As expected, when the NFL announced which teams will receive compensatory draft picks for the upcoming 2022 NFL Draft, the Buffalo Bills were among the teams not earning any compensatory picks.
The news is not shocking since the Bills picked up more players through free agency than they lost during the 2021 NFL free agency period. The formula for determining which teams receive compensatory draft picks incorporates a team’s free agent losses compared to their gains in free agency, among other factors.
The window used for determining compensatory picks starts with the beginning of the new league year and ends in early May.
