Teasley’s Vikings Hire Grants Seahawks Compensatory Picks

Under the league’s diversity rule, a former team of a newly‑hired GM can receive two third‑round compensatory picks if the hire qualifies as a diverse candidate. The Vikings’ selection of Nolan Teasley, a former Seahawks assistant GM, triggers the benefit. The key question is whether Teasley will be considered the Vikings’ primary football executive, a status that will allow the Seahawks to claim the picks. The rule has previously prevented other teams, such as the Bears, from receiving picks after hiring former assistants, and the outcome hinges on the Vikings’ internal designation. palladian.co.za
