Incorrect, the release does not become official until 4:00 PM EST today. Teams will then have 24 hours to place a claim on him, so any claim will be awarded tomorrow at 4:01 PM EST. After that Fournette will be free to then sign with whomever he likes. One thing to note on claiming him is that his contract is 4.6 for the year as it stands, but one would imagine signing him after clearing waivers could allow you to get him cheaper.
