We wanted to break down how the Waiver Wire works and the Waiver Wire Order, so you can be prepared as a fan.
On Tuesday, August 29th, at 4pm, the NFL teams must cut their rosters from 90 to 53. There are always surprise cuts, but do you know how the waivers work?
Let’s break it down and then show you where your team is in the process.
What is the 2023 NFL Waiver Wire Order?
The waiver wire is determined from the worst team to the best team. Regardless of trades during draft day, every team still has a place to put in a claim. So it is basically the 2023 Draft order minus any trading of picks.
If a player has four years he is not subject to waivers. So they can be signed immediately by another team. If a player has three years or less he must go through waivers. Players subject to waivers do not become free agents unless they go unclaimed in the waiver process.
