But, if any of these players are waived this week, they will be subject to the waiver wire pool and can be claimed by another team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">If not, they can be a part of Philadelphia\u2019s 16-man practice squad, which will likely be finalized the day after the cutdown date.<\/p>\n<p>Which Philadelphia Eagles are subject to waivers if they\u2019re waived?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">WR Ife Adeyi<br \/>RB Montrell Johnson Jr.<br \/>LB Lance Dixon<br \/>DT Joe Evans<br \/>DB Maxen Hook<br \/>DB Brandon Johnson<br \/>QB Kyle McCord<br \/>WR Taylor Morin<br \/>OL Hollin Pierce<br \/>RB ShunDerrick Powell<br \/>OLB Antwaun Powell-Ryland Jr.<br \/>DE Jereme Robinson<br \/>LB Dallas Gant<br \/>DT Justin Rogers<br \/>S Andre\u2019 Sam<br \/>DT Justin Sykes<br \/>OT Laekin Vakalahi (international exemption)<br \/>DB A.J.

But not all players instantly become free agents and free to sign with any team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Well, when a player is \u2018waived\u2019, they are subject to the waiver wire, where any team can claim them and assume their current contract. Currently, the waiver wire order (listed below) is dependent on the NFL Draft order from this past April, but without any trades.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Teams will file waiver claims at the same time, but only the team with the highest claim will successfully \u2018claim\u2019 the player and their current contract.<\/p>\n<p>Which NFL players are subject to go on waivers and not be released?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Whether or not a player enters the waiver wire of becomes a free agent depends on a player\u2019s NFL service time. Players with at least four years of accrued NFL service time are outright released. If a player is released, their contract has ended, and they\u2019re eligible to sign with any team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">However, if a player has less than four years of service time, they are waived and subject to waiver wire claims. Any player who is not claimed after being waived is eligible to sign wherever they\u2019d like, including their former team\u2019s practice squad.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Mainly, the group of players getting waived is those who are currently not eligible for unrestricted free agency status entering the year. They would be an Exclusive Rights Free Agent (less than three years of service) or a Restricted Free Agent (three years of service).<\/p>\n<p>What is the NFL waiver order right now?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The NFL waiver order during the preseason and the first three weeks of the regular season mirrors the 2025 NFL Draft order. Once we get through four games, it resets to the current NFL standings.
