View the NFL’s waiver wire order after roster cuts
The Denver Broncos finalized an initial 53-man roster on Tuesday, but the roster moves are not over just yet.
After the team’s preseason finale last week, Broncos coach Sean Payton explained that roster shuffling will continue, starting with waiver claims on Wednesday morning.
“It takes a minute [to sort out the roster],” Payton said. “Then we’re evaluating everyone else’s cuts. We claim fifth this year which is high. That’s a good spot to be in.”
The NFL’s waiver wire order is the same order the NFL had for the draft earlier this year. Before trades, Denver was set to pick fifth overall in the 2023 draft, so the team will be fifth in the waiver wire order this week.
Here’s a look at the NFL’s complete waiver wire order.
1) Chicago Bears
2) Houston Texans
