He does say that you can't get six picks in the next paragraph :D

No, he doesn't say they can't get six picks. He says they won't get six picks because of FAs they will sign, cancelling out picks, like when they signed Harrison.

He totally doesn't understand how it works.
You quoted the paragraph where he says you can't get 6 picks.
That’s the potential for six additional draft picks in the 2026 NFL Draft. They could get more if Russell Wilson and/or Mike Williams sign elsewhere. Now, the Steelers won’t actually get six extra picks. They already canceled Roberts’ pick by signing Malik Harrison from the Baltimore Ravens.

he says in the article you can’t get more than 4

. “They will sign other players — and can’t have more than four, anyway.“

Jebrick, he doesn’t say they can’t get six comp picks. He says they WON’T and in the very next sentence says why: because of incoming free agent signings specifically with the Harrison signing canceling out Elandon Roberts and more free agent signings to come cancelling out who they already lost.

In summary, he shows no understanding of there being a cap of four picks you can get. The Steelers can lose 10 qualifying FAs and sign 0 replacements and still would only get 4 comp picks. This is what his article shows no understanding of.

And since he was released, he doesn’t count towards the compensatory pick formula for 2026.

OK, I was wrong.

I went back and re-read it and saw towards the end of the article he mentioned they can't get more than 4. Poorly written article though. I mean, this is just a badly laid out paragraph:
As things stand on Tuesday morning, the Steelers are set to net an additional third, four, fifth and two sixth-round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft. They won’t get all of those. They will sign other players — and can’t have more than four, anyway.
It's almost like he wrote most of the article and then realized right before submitting it that you can't get more than 4 comp picks, and threw that blurb in.

https://overthecap.com/the-basics-and-m ... raft-picks
Appendix V of the 2020 Collective Bargaining Agreement contains the binding bylaws of the compensatory pick system. App. V, §1 explains the basics as follows:

[A] Compensatory Free Agent (“CFA”) shall be defined as an Unrestricted Free Agent (“UFA”) who: (i) signed with a new Club during the prior free agency signing period […] prior to 4:00 p.m., New York time, on the Monday following the NFL Draft for that League Year1 […]; and (ii) ranked within the top 35%2 of all League players […]. Clubs that lose to other Clubs a greater number of CFAs than they sign or acquire from other Clubs shall be eligible to receive a Compensatory Draft Selection in the College Draft to be held in the following League Year subject to the provisions set forth below.

1 Prior to 2015, this date was June 1, and from 2015-2019 this date was the second Tuesday after the NFL Draft.

A depth signing is kind of weird for a position group with no depth

But, you know, super critical to have someone that already knows our caveman offense.

I think he could be a decent spare part WR for a good OC. Doesn’t seem to shy away from the dirty work of football. He needs a creative OC to succeed on offense
