Today, tons of NFL players were released including 26 players drafted in the 2021 NFL Draft. Tomorrow, teams can place a waiver wire claim to be rewarded a player released. How does it work?

A player who gets cut and has less than four years of service time is placed on waivers. All 31 other teams can place a claim on the player and add him to their 53-man roster. If the player passes through waivers unclaimed, they are free to sign with any team as an unrestricted free agent.

The waiver wire order is identical to the 2021 NFL Draft order. Teams with the worse records own the highest waiver claim priority.
