Expect a crazy day tomorrow in the NFL; Waiver Wire Order

Today 1100 plus NFL players were released from their teams.  They went through the waiver wire and tomorrow at 12 (Noon) they can be claimed by another team.

This is how it works, they can be claimed by any team but the team with the higher claim will get the player.  Then the team will have to release a player to make room for their new acquistion.

Here’s the full waiver wire order:

1. Cleveland Browns

2. San Francisco 49ers

3. Chicago Bears

4. Jacksonville Jaguars

5. Los Angeles Rams

6. New York Jets

7. San Diego Chargers

8. Carolina Panthers

9. Cincinnati Bengals

10. Buffalo Bills

11. New Orleans Saints

12. Philadelphia Eagles

13. Arizona Cardinals

14. Minnesota Vikings

15. Indianapolis Colts

16. Baltimore Ravens

17. Washington Redskins

18. Tennessee Titans

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

20. Denver Broncos

21. Detroit Lions

22. Miami Dolphins

23. New York Giants

24. Oakland Raiders

25. Houston Texans

26. Seattle Seahawks

27. Kansas City Chiefs

28. Dallas Cowboys

29 Green Bay Packers

30. Pittsburgh Steelers

31. Atlanta Falcons

32. New England Patriots

So here is an example: Seattle Seahawks cut CB Pierre Desir.  He goes through waivers and four teams put in a claim for him.  The teams are 49ers, Bears, Bills and Eagles.  He would go to the 49ers because they have the 2nd waiver claim.  

If a player passes through all 32 teams he can sign to any team or practice squad.  If they are claimed they have to go to the 53 man roster. A claimed player cannot go to the practice squad.
