This was a good listen. They spoke at length about potential ways to fill the void.
 
I don't like thinking about SJ leaving but if I have to then it's Montee Ball!

LOL at the Bush conversation! :rofl:
 
But, if SJ39 will be agree with an other team,will we have a compensatory pick or not?Thank you for the answer!

I believe so, yes, but how high of a pick will depend on what we do to replace him, and how big of a contract he signs.

Yes - next year.

The compensation is also based on performance. That is, how much did the Rams lose in performance with Jackson's departure. I'm fairly sure that's a 1-to-1 comparison; what does Jackson do this season compared to last season. Otherwise you get into all kinds of variables like injuries, personnel improvement or lack of and such.

How else do you explain NE getting a 3rd round comp pick a few years ago when they didn't really have a drop off in wins?

Even if Jackson leaves, I'll root for him to do well just so we get a good comp pick.
