With the NFL deadline for roster cuts set for 4:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday, August 26, teams around the league will have their eyes glued to the waiver wire before setting their final 53-man rosters, and the Dallas Cowboys have a favorable spot in the order.
Players with less than four years of NFL experience are subject to the waiver wire and must pass through before becoming a free agent.
However, players with more than four years of accrued time in the NFL are immediately released.
The waiver wire gives teams an opportunity to add promising players to the roster by placing a claim once they are available. The team who is highest in the priority order will be eligible to sign that player.
