Waiver
1) Players with less than 3 seasons who are cut must go onto the waiver claim list. This includes players that the team may want to sign back the next day after placing someone else on IR.
2) Teams can put in a claim for a player. For the first 5 games, the teams claim in pre-trade draft order from the previous season. The Bengals are 31st in line. That puts relying on winning waiver claims to get cut players on really shaky ground.
3) Players claimed via waiver must be placed on the 53 roster
4) Players with 4 or more seasons, are released outright and become immediate free agents. They can sign with any team. Kevin Huber is the only Bengal at risk of not making the team who would become a free agent
Practice Squad
1) Players can be signed to the Practice Squad beginning noon on Wed Aug 31.
2) Teams can sign up to 16 players. 10 unvested players which mean they have 3 or fewer seasons. Additionally, 6 vested veterans can be signed to the squad. Vested veterans have played 4 or more seasons.
3) EVERY unsigned player is eligible for the PS under these rules. Tom Brady would be PS eligible if he was out on the street
