2026 NFL Waiver Wire rules and order

If a player has 4 years or more of service time, they do not have to go through waivers. They are free to sign with a team as soon as they are released.

Once a player clears waivers, they are free to sign with whatever team they choose. The Titans will start to fill out their practice squad from players that have cleared waivers over the next few days.

Of course, if the Titans claim a player, they will have to waive a player who made the initial 53-man roster. For the player who is waived, if they have less than 4 years of service time, they will then be subject to the waiver process.
