Having The First Choice On The Waiver Wire

[Garthshort]

Was watching Cards Cover 2 the other day and I believe I heard either MJ or CG say that in recent years the team holding the first choice on the WW, that come the final cutdown to "53", picked from 4-7 guys who were cut by other teams. Wondering how many we'll select. This is an excellent opportunity to improve our roster.

What's "WW"?

What's "WW"?

waiver wire, had to read it twice and then it made sense.

 

[Garthshort]

Guys, sorry about that.

juza, the players who have X (don't know the number) number of years in the NFL can sign with anyone, I believe.

I think it's the 10/5 rule...10 years in the league/5 years with current team. At least that's what it used to be, to not be waiver wire bound.

I can’t.
I just cant get excited about the waiver wire.

It’s like we are picking others people garbage.

Sorry for being a Debbie downer.

It is where we will get the best talent. Some good players lose out in camp battles. Problem is we get them late and for positions like OL it takes a while to acclimate.

Some very good players are cut every year. Sometimes salary is more of a consideration than play, especially for position depth. If the Cardinals can improve their depth through the waiver wire, it is a good thing.

When Keim is your GM...Other peoples trash, is for sure...Your treasure!

Yes, this is a 9-win team that just needs the worst 55th-60th best players on a handful of teams to really complete the picture.

Players with 5+ years in the NFL aren't exposed to the waiver wire; they become immediate free agents.

I'm with you.

We might luck out here or there (see Swearinger), but expecting this to be like a second Free Agency seems pretty short-sighted to me.

 

[BigRedRage]

Ii tried googling the best waiver wire signings in NFL history and all I get are fantasy football results.

It's worth remembering also that D.J. Swearinger was acquired in December 2015; he wasn't a roster-cutdown guy.

True. I mean, there's a chance that someone who could be a starter is cut to "give them a chance" with another team, but I think it's rare.

Based on our depth at the o line and d line others trash is definitely our treasure.

 

[cardncubfan]

Spotrac has a list of transactions by year. You can filter claimed. You have to keep scrolling down to get to late August early September of any year.

I remember only a few years ago, teams were signing our cast offs.

I'm all for looking through the bargain bin, but it's just another indication that we'll struggle to win six or seven games.

Who? This is the nonsense that Wolfley sells starting a week from now, and it's almost never true. Even under Arians, some camp body would be picked up for a hot minute on someone's practice squad and never be heard from again.
