I had never heard of this. This relates to the new GM of the Vikings. The Browns, his former team, get compensated.
"Even though losing Adofo-Mensah is a loss for the Browns organization, the team does receive compensation thanks to the NFL’s policy on Equal Employment and Workplace Diversity. That policy states that if a minority coach or executive becomes a head coach or GM with another team after being employed for two full seasons, then the organization he came from will receive third-round compensatory picks for two consecutive years. Those picks will be for the 2022 and 2023 NFL Drafts — more tools for Berry to improve the roster after a relatively disappointing season."

The Browns will receive draft-pick compensation because the Vikings hired Adofo-Mensah.
In November 2020, NFL owners approved a resolution stipulating teams that lose a minority coach or executive to a head coach or general manager job with another club will receive a third-round compensatory pick for two consecutive years.
The official resolution states a team is eligible to receive draft-pick compensation if a successful head coach or GM minority candidate "has been employed by the employer-club for a minimum of two full seasons."
Although Adofo-Mensah's two-year work anniversary with the Browns would have been in May 2022, he spent two full seasons with the franchise."
