More than 1,000 players across the NFL are set to hit the market when every team has to cut its roster from 90 players down to the limit of 53 by Tuesday afternoon.
The vast majority of those players will hit the waiver wire. That group will reportedly include quarterback Nathan Rourke and outside linebacker Jordan Smith of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Every team in the NFL will have the opportunity to put in claims for waived players they’d like to add to their active roster. If multiple teams claim the same player, he’ll be awarded to the team with the higher priority on the waiver order.
That order is determined by record, with the worst teams in the NFL getting first dibs on waived players. For now, that’s based off 2022 records and the full order is as follows:
- Chicago Bears
- Houston Texans
- Arizona Cardinals
- Indianapolis Colts
- Denver Broncos
- Los Angeles Rams
- Las Vegas Raiders
- Atlanta Falcons
- Carolina Panthers
- New Orleans Saints
- Tennessee Titans
- Cleveland Browns
- New York Jets
- New England Patriots
- Green Bay Packers
- Washington Commanders
- Pittsburgh Steelers
- Detroit Lions
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Seattle Seahawks
- Miami Dolphins
- Los Angeles Chargers
- Baltimore Ravens
- Minnesota Vikings
- Jacksonville Jaguars
- New York Giants
- Dallas Cowboys
- Buffalo Bills
- Cincinnati Bengals
- San Francisco 49ers
- Philadelphia Eagles
- Kansas City Chiefs
Players who are unclaimed become free agents and are free to be signed to practice squads.
