The NFL waiver wire order after roster cuts

The next stage of building NFL rosters after Tuesday’s cutdown deadline to get to 53 players is the waiver wire. Between Tuesday’s 4 p.m. ET cuts and Wednesday at noon ET, players can place waiver claims for non-vested veterans who were cut.

Teams are awarded the players they claim provided a team with a higher priority in the waiver order does not also claim him.

The waiver claim order is based on the 2024 NFL draft order, which means the Arizona Cardinals are on the list. They are fourth in waiver priority.

Only the Carolina Panthers, Washington Commanders and New England Patriots have higher priority.

What is the full waiver wire order?

It is below:

  1. Carolina Panthers
  2. Washington Commanders
  3. New England Patriots
  4. Arizona Cardinals
  5. Los Angeles Chargers
  6. New York Giants
  7. Tennessee Titans
  8. Atlanta Falcons
  9. Chicago Bears
  10. New York Jets
  11. Minnesota Vikings
  12. Denver Broncos
  13. Las Vegas Raiders
  14. New Orleans Saints
  15. Indianapolis Colts
  16. Seattle Seahawks
  17. Jacksonville Jaguars
  18. Cincinnati Bengals
  19. Los Angeles Rams
  20. Pittsburgh Steelers
  21. Miami Dolphins
  22. Philadelphia Eagles
  23. Cleveland Browns
  24. Dallas Cowboys
  25. Green Bay Packers
  26. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
  27. Houston Texans
  28. Buffalo Bills
  29. Detroit Lions
  30. Baltimore Ravens
  31. San Francisco 49ers
  32. Kansas City Chiefs

This will be the order up through the first month of the season, after which it will be based on current 2024 regular-season record.

The Cardinals were awarded six players via waiver claims immediately after final cuts — OL Carter O’Donnell, OL Keith Ismael, OL Tystan Colon, OL Ilm Manning, CB Starling Thomas V, TE Elijah Higgins.
