My favorite teams
Cody Parkey is so loathsome and the desire to rid the Bears of this scourge has caused a knee jerk desire to bring back Robbie Gould. While having him back would likely settle the K position for the short term, it has consequences.
The obvious one is that at 36, at any point, he could physically fall of the cliff and become...well...Cody Parkey-ish. Add in that he will take a large amount of money to sign, he will likely take away a possible descent depth signing in FA at a position of need with Chicago's limited cap space.
But the cost that this post was meant to discuss is his cost in draft pick. The Bears are positioned to receive compensatory picks for Amos and/or Callahan if one or both leave via FA. Both look to get contracts that may make them as high as 4th rd comp picks. Signing depth picks elsewhere won't likely impact comp picks, but Robbie Gould would likely be a comp pick qualifier and cost the Bears a comp pick.
Windy mentioned that lower comp picks don't offset higher ones, but OTC doesn't see it that way. They say if no lower rnd comp pick is there to offset, then a higher pick can be offset. As A. Lynch is the only other Bear FA that possibly could fall into the comp pool,if he doesn't would you be willing to forfeit a 4th for Gould? Even if he does, say at a 6th, would you sign Gould with that in mind?
Here is an example from OTC
itt gained 2 lower comp eligible picks and the first offset a higher pick they lost.

A CFA gained will only cancel out a CFA lost with a higher draft order if there are no other CFAs lost available to cancel out.
