Arizona Cardinals hold third position in NFL waiver priority order

NFL teams reached the 53-man roster limit on Sunday following league-wide cuts. Players with fewer than four credited seasons remain subject to the waiver process before they can sign with new teams. The Arizona Cardinals currently hold the third priority position in the waiver order, determined by the 2026 draft sequence. Only the Las Vegas Raiders and New York Jets possess higher claims than Arizona. Successful claims require the team to add the player to their active roster, necessitating a corresponding transaction to maintain the limit. The waiver period is scheduled to conclude at noon ET on August 31.
