The Baltimore Ravens, Dallas Cowboys and Miami Dolphins each gained a league-high four additional selections in the 2025 NFL Draft based on their losses and signings in last year’s free agency period.
The San Francisco 49ers also received four picks, three of which came through the free agency formula and one for developing DeMeco Ryans as a head coach. The NFL on Tuesday announced the 35 total compensatory picks awarded to 15 teams for the draft.
Compensatory draft picks are awarded when a team is deemed to have lost more or better compensatory free agents (“CFA”) than it acquired in the previous year. All awarded picks are positioned between the third and seventh rounds based on the value of the compensatory free agents lost.
The CFAs are determined by a formula created by the NFL Management Council that takes into account salary, playing time and postseason honors. The goal is to determine the net loss teams suffer from CFAs during the previous free agent signing period. The formula does not include every free agent lost or signed by a team.
The San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Rams and Detroit Lions were each awarded a selection under a 2020 amendment to the collective bargaining agreement to promote equal employment opportunities and an inclusive workforce within NFL clubs.
Teams that have a minority employee hired by another club as its head coach or general manager receive a special compensatory draft selection in the third round of each of the next two drafts. If a team has two former minority employees hired into one of those two roles elsewhere, a third year is added.
