Do we get draft picks for hiring Glenn? (1 Viewer)

I hope this does not sound racist, because that is not my intention. I believe when the Falcons hired Fontentot, we received two third round picks due to him being a non-white hire.

Hopefully, this does not offend anyone, but if we hired Glenn, would we also receive two third round picks?

Apologies in advance. I may be misunderstanding how comp picks work.

Wouldn't it be the other way around? Detroit would get 2 3rds?

Correct. Detroit would get them.

I thought it was both teams. No idea i could be wrong

Lions would get the picks.

Detroit would get picks for losing a coach. It's a reward for developing minority coach or exec.

 

[Snakehead]

In November 2020, team owners approved a proposal rewarding teams who developed minority talent that went on to become GMs or head coaches across the league. If a team lost a minority executive or coach to another team, that team would receive a third-round compensatory pick for two years. If a team lost both a coach and personnel member, it would receive a third-round compensatory pick for three years.

Ok, thanks. I thought there was an incentive for hiring as well

Nope. It’s designed so you get rewarded for putting minority coaches and execs in position to be hired by other teams as HC’s and GM’s rather than a direct payoff making the hire yourself.

NFL Announces 34 Compensatory Draft Choices to 14 Clubs | NFL Football Operations

operations.nfl.com

In addition to the 32 compensatory selections awarded under the net loss formula, a special compensatory selection was awarded to the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers under a 2020 amendment to the League’s Collective Bargaining Agreement, which was agreed upon by the NFL and the NFLPA to promote equal employment opportunities and an inclusive workforce within NFL clubs. This initiative provides that the prior employer-club of a minority employee who has been hired by another club as its head coach or primary football executive (general manager) will receive compensation in the form of a special compensatory draft selection in the third round of each of the next two drafts, or in each of the next three drafts if two minority employees from the employer-club are hired for these positions by another club or clubs. Special compensatory selections are awarded in draft selection order after all other compensatory selections in round three and are denoted with an asterisk in the following table.
