Here is who got compensatory picks, which are based on salary, playing time and postseason honors for players who leave via free agency:

Baltimore 4
Cincinnati 4
Chicago 3
Indy 3
Philly 3
Washington 3
Buffalo 2
Carolina 2
Miami 2
Atlanta 1
Green Bay 1
New York Giants 1
St. Louis 1
San Diego 1
Tennessee 1

Seahawks GM Tim Ruskell said right before free agency that he expected to get a compensatory pick, though that clearly was not the case.

Looks like there are 32 comp. picks so why not have another round and make it equal for every team? I think every team looses important players every year and each one has a unique value to that particular team.
