That scenario is as follows:

If the Broncos & Melvin Gordon hold off from officially processing their agreement to a contract until after April 27, they might deny the division rival Chargers a 3rd round 2021 compensatory pick for the departure of Philip Rivers. https://twitter.com/Jason_OTC/status/1254033833244135425
And this would be as follows: if LAC either cuts Nick Vigil before Week 10 (or whenever is the threshold in the new CBA) or maybe greatly limits his snaps, they can protect their comp pick for losing Rivers.

They also just traded up for Kenneth Murray... https://twitter.com/Jason_OTC/status/1254048070238720000
Another danger the Chargers' 3rd round 2021 compensatory pick faces is the departure of Adrian Phillips to New England.

If the Patriots cut him before the deadline, they pick up a 6th rounder for the departure of Ted Karras.

And they just drafted Kyle Dugger at safety...
