Breshad Perriman, who has five accrued seasons, was released. All of the other eight cuts were waived because none had more than three accrued seasons in the NFL. When a team waives a player with an injury designation, it lets the rest of the league know that this player is currently suffering from an injury. He still goes through the same waiver wire process, allowing another team to potentially claim him.
From there, the original team can either choose to keep him there or release him outright with an injury settlement. The team with the highest waiver wire priority acquires them and has to make a corresponding move to fit him on their man roster. Throughout the offseason, waive wire priority is determined by draft order prior to trades. So for the offseason, the Lions had the seventh-highest priority. The waiver process starts to get real interesting starting with the Seahawks. While Seattle has the same record as Philadelphia at , Russell Wilson is nearing his return from finger surgery.
And with there already being buzz that Wilson could be on the move this offseason, what better way to try to convince him to stay in Seattle than by going all-in this year with a wide receiver trio of DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and OBJ? The team with the highest waiver priority that places a claim on Beckham will be awarded the wideout. Whether it's through waivers or if Beckham becomes a free agent, the teams interested in the year-old wideout are likely all going to be playoff contenders.
Now through the Super Bowl, they must go through waivers — which allows any team to claim them. The NFL wrapped up the preseason on Sunday, August 29th, marking a change to the traditional approach.
The league negotiated a 17th regular season game for each team and part of the trade-off was to remove one preseason game. Three weeks plus the Hall of Fame Game means we wrap up the full preseason slate a week before Labor Day. In the past, teams would play their final preseason game this coming Thursday and then have final roster cuts due by 4 p. ET Saturday afternoon. This year, final roster cuts are due by 4 p.
ET on Tuesday. The players that are released will not all be free to immediately sign with another team. Sort of. The common denominator is that the worst teams have the highest priority to claim players released by other teams. Additionally, when a player cuts a player they have last waiver priority for that particular player. 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 NFL Draft order, so the Eagles will have the sixth claim on any cuts that take place. Teams with the worse records own the highest waiver claim priority.
