NFL ANNOUNCES 32 COMPENSATORY DRAFT CHOICES TO 23 CLUBS

A total of 32 compensatory choices in the 2011 NFL Draft have been awarded to 23 teams, the NFL announced today.

Under the rules for compensatory draft selections, a team losing more or better compensatory free agents than it acquires
in the previous year is eligible to receive compensatory draft picks.

The number of picks a team receives equals the net loss of compensatory free agents up to a maximum of four. The 32
compensatory choices announced today will supplement the 221 choices in the seven rounds of the 2011 NFL Draft (April
28-30), which will kick off in primetime for the second consecutive year.

The first round will be held on Thursday, April 28 and begin at 8:00 PM ET. The second and third rounds are set for
Friday, April 29 at 6:00 PM ET followed by rounds 4-7 on Saturday, April 30 at Noon ET.

This year, the compensatory picks will be positioned within the third through seventh rounds based on the value of the
compensatory free agents lost.

Compensatory free agents are determined by a formula based on salary, playing time and postseason honors. The
formula was developed by the NFL Management Council. Not every free agent lost or signed by a club is covered by this
formula.

Three clubs this year (Oakland, Seattle and New Orleans) will each receive a compensatory pick even though they did not
suffer a net loss of compensatory free agents last year. Under the formula, the compensatory free agents lost by these
clubs were ranked higher than the ones they signed (by a specified point differential based upon salary and performance).

Twenty-one compensatory picks were awarded to clubs based upon the compensatory pick formula. By rule, 11
additional choices were awarded at the end of the seventh round to bring the total number of compensatory selections to
32, equaling the number of NFL clubs. The 11 additional picks were awarded to Carolina, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Denver,
Cleveland, Arizona, San Francisco, Tennessee, Dallas, Washington and Houston based upon the 2011 draft selection
order.

The following 2011 draft picks have been determined by the NFL Management Council:
