This makes yesterday's decision to bring back Bullard puzzling. Both of these players aren't going to make the team. One or the other.
On the bright side, signing Tillery won't figure into the comp pick formula. Despite losing both Kirko & Hunter, as of today we don't figure to receive a 2025 comp pick which is disheartening.

I think we'd get a 3rd rounder still.  We don't have any FA signings close to canceling Kirk.  Greenard probably negates Hunter.  Wonnum just signed a deal and KJ will likely get a decent deal yet so those two will probably negate Cashman and Van Ginkel.  The rest of the guys we've signed are either our own FAs or guys who were cut that don't factor into the formula.

Kirk doesn't count for compensatory picks because of the void years that were on the end of his deal. Also I believe there's an age limit that Kirk exceeds as well.

Tillery is just a guy, maybe get a few decent snaps out of him. Bullard is a dude that has gotten bigger over the years, probably more of a NT now. He's had some solid moments, but not a force by any stretch. Tillery is tall, at least get those arms up in the middle. Meh.

One third-round comp pick now on the board for the #Vikings. [Wonnum]. If one of Dalton Risner, KJ Osborn or Josh Dobbs signs for more than $~3M and the Vikings don't sign any more CFAs, the Vikings should be in line for two 2025 compensatory 3rds

In order to be awarded a comp pick, a team must lose more qualifying FAs then they sign. Up until the Wonnum signing we were neutral. We lost 4 qualifying FAs (Kirko, Hunter, Davenport, Hicks) & we signed 4 (Greenard, AVG, Cashman & Darnold). The Wonnum signing tilts the field in  our favor & we'll be awarded a 3rd for losing Kirko assuming that we don't sign another qualifying FA.
