The Packers Authentic Joe Pavelski Jersey , Cowboys, Raiders and Bengals will each receive four compensatory picks in April’s draft.

The NFL announced Friday that 32 such selections will be split among 15 teams. Compensatory picks are awarded to teams who lost more or better compensatory free agents than they acquired in the previous year.

For example, Arizona lost defensive lineman Calais Campbell, who became a 2017 All-Pro with Jacksonville. Same thing with Cincinnati losing tackle Andrew Whitworth, who was an All-Pro with the Rams last season.

All compensatory picks will be positioned within the third through seventh rounds based on the value of the compensatory free agents lost. Receiving selections in the third round are the Cardinals, Texans Tyson Barrie Jersey , Broncos and Bengals at Nos. 97-100 overall.

In the fourth round, Green Bay, Arizona, the New York Giants, New England and Dallas will have picks, from Nos. 133-137.

Cincinnati has one spot and Dallas and Green Bay each have two spots at the end of the fifth round. All four of Oakland’s choices will be in the sixth round Vladislav Namestnikov Jersey , when Houston and Minnesota have two selections each, and Baltimore, Green Bay, Dallas and Kansas City each have one.

At the end of the final round, the Bengals have two picks, while the Chargers Richard Panik Jersey , Buccaneers, Cardinals and Falcons each have one.

Raiders coach Jon Gruden and star pass rusher Khalil Mack still haven’t spoken since Gruden got the job, but on one issue they may have some common ground: They both recognize an opportunity to reduce their tax bill by structuring their contracts to pay them most of their money after the Raiders move to Las Vegas.

California has America’s highest income tax rate, at 13.3 percent. Nevada is one of the few states with no income tax. That’s surely part of the reason that Gruden’s contract is backloaded, to pay him more money once the Raiders are playing in Las Vegas than he’s getting over the next two years while they’re still playing in Oakland.

As noted by Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the tax issue could complicate things between Mack and the Raiders. Mack may want to push more of his guaranteed money to the 2020 season Luke Schenn Jersey Kids , when the Raiders will be in Las Vegas, and the Raiders may not want to have huge guaranteed payouts on their books years in advance.

Mack may also figure that if he’s going to wait a couple years for his biggest payday, he doesn’t need to be in any hurry to get a deal done now: If the Raiders haven’t bowled him over with an offer that makes him the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history, mack might calculate that it makes more sense to hold off on signing any long-term deals until he’s in a position where he can either re-sign with a Nevada-based franchise, or shop himself to the highest bidder.
