The Philadelphia Eagles have over 50 players who could be subject to waivers as they cut down from 90 players to 53 by the August 26 deadline and beyond.
Of course, a lot of players on their rookie contracts should be safe from getting waived, such as starters Cooper DeJean, Quinyon Mitchell, and others. 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.
If not, they can be a part of Philadelphia’s 16-man practice squad, which will likely be finalized the day after the cutdown date.

What is waivers in the NFL?
As the final preparations begin for the season, teams will make massive changes to their roster, either waiving or releasing players. But not all players instantly become free agents and free to sign with any team.
Well, when a player is ‘waived’, 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.
Teams will file waiver claims at the same time, but only the team with the highest claim will successfully ‘claim’ the player and their current contract.
Which NFL players are subject to go on waivers and not be released?
Whether or not a player enters the waiver wire of becomes a free agent depends on a player’s 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’re eligible to sign with any team.
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’d like, including their former team’s practice squad.
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).
What is the NFL waiver order right now?
