Draft Pick Compensation for Unsigned Draftees

#1 Post by Morris Ragland »

To recap the Ootp rules governing post-draft negotiations:
If you are unable to sign your draftees in the allotted time, they will sit out the year and will be eligible to draft again next season! If this happens, you will be awarded compensation draft picks in next season's draft for players drafted in the first three rounds. The compensation pick will be at the same draft number as the unsigned draftee plus one, so if a #12 pick in 2010 is not signed the compensation pick will be #13 in 2011. If you fail to sign the player taken with the compensation pick then you do not get another compensation pick the following year. These compensation picks are not available for free agent compensation.
Owing to the irregularities with draftee negotiations this season, and in the interest of fairness, we'll need to amend this rule somewhat. Between now and the trade deadline sim (Dec. 26 in RL), all teams will have the opportunity to release players taken in rounds 1-3 of the 2026 first year player draft and receive compensation as if they did not sign that player. Unlike unsigned players, those players will become free agents (note, players released by vacant teams on 7/20 won't appear as FA until the 12/18 league file) and can be signed by any other team in the PEBA except the team that released them (i.e., you don't get your player and a compensation pick as well).

Below is a recap of the first three rounds of the 2026 draft. We'll be tracking every player taken, and assigning compensation picks for 2027 where appropriate. Players who will not bring compensation for failure to sign/release are marked with an '[NC]'. These players were themselves drafted with a compensation pick.

The tracker is current as of 7/20/26.

In order for a team to claim compensation for a player released in the 12/18 export or later, they must post a reply in this thread, naming the player released, and what draft pick was used to take that player.
