NFL waiver wire: Where do Giants rank in waiver priority?

Cutdown day has arrived so here’s a look at some waive wire rules, waiver wire order and where the New York Giants are in order of priority.

The 2023 NFL regular season is just around the corner but before things kick off, teams are required to trim their rosters down to 53 men. That deadline looms at 4:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday.

General manager Joe Schoen will certainly be busy because not only does he have to make in-house personnel decisions, but he also has to determine what (if any) waived or released players to claim or attempt to sign.

A year ago, Schoen and the Giants made seven total waiver claims and were awarded four players — safety Jason Pinnock, defensive backs Nick McCloud and Justin Layne, and offensive lineman Jack Anderson.

There is no doubt the Giants will do a little roster shuffling after the initial 53-man roster is established, so below is a look at the waiver order and several key rules to keep in mind over the next 24-36 hours.
