Following the final wave of cuts on deadline day, players went through the waiver process on Wednesday before becoming free agents. After the 53-player cutdown day on Tuesday, four former members of the San Francisco 49ers landed with new teams, including three players being claimed on Wednesday.
Rookies Jarret Kingston and Cody Schrader were claimed, along with former starting defensive back Samuel Womack. Kingston and Schrader each flashed in the preseason. Kingston was claimed by the Carolina Panthers and former Missouri All-American running back Schrader landed with the division rival Los Angeles Rams. Womack was claimed by the Colts.
