Here is all that the teams earn compensatory choices and which teams have them in 2025.
What is a compensatory choice?
Each year, the NFL attributes to at least 32 additional “compensatory” choices to various teams in addition to the seven choices with which each team begins. Each compensatory choice is split at the ends of the 3-7 towers.
To receive one or more compensatory choices, the teams must have “lost more or better compensatory agents they have signed the previous year”, according to an article in the NFL.com. “The formula that determines the compensatory free agents is based on salary, playing time and honors in playoffs.”

In addition, if a coach or a minority front office leaves a team to take a job as head coach or a “primary football management position” with another franchise, the original team obtains a special compensatory choice.
This year, 35 total compensatory choices divided between 16 teams. Three choices are special compensatory choices allocated to the 49ers, RAMS and Lions for losing minority coaches to other teams.
