We interrupt the beloved legal tampering period to give you an update on the 2025 NFL draft.
(But unfortunately for the Carolina Panthers , it's not really much of an update.)
The compensatory picks for the upcoming draft were officially announced on Tuesday evening. And, unsurprisingly, the Panthers did not come away with any of the new selections.
To acquire compensatory picks, teams must have experienced a net loss from the prior offseason. In essence, they must lose more value in free agency than they gain.
Seeing as though the Panthers were quite busy gaining last spring —where they signed the likes of guards Robert Hunt (five years, $100 million) and Damien Lewis (four years, $53 million) as well as outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney (two years, $20 million)—they were not expected to be awarded compensation.
2026 should yield the same empty results for Carolina, who have been very active over the past few days.
Here are all the compensatory picks for the 2025 draft:
