The New York Giants got their roster down to the league-mandated limit of 53 players on Tuesday, but their work isn’t done. Now, the waiver process begins.
Teams can put in claims for players who were waived on Tuesday, attempting to add them to their roster. This only applies to players with less than four accrued seasons in the NFL. If a player isn’t claimed, he then becomes a free agent.
For players who have accrued at least four seasons, they are able to negotiate with other teams right away as free agents.
If the Giants want to claim a player who was waived by another team, they’ll need that player to get to them in the waiver order. New York sits fifth in the waiver priority, meaning if they claim a player that the four teams ahead of them did not attempt to claim, the Giants will be awarded that player.
