Cowboys make two waiver claims
Dallas bolstered one of their biggest areas of need, their secondary, with two waiver wire pick ups: rookie safety Trikweze Bridges and second-year cornerback Reddy Steward. Bridges was the Los Angeles Chargers’ 2025 seventh-round pick out of Florida, and Steward is set to enter his second NFL season in 2025. Steward has played in one career game with the Minnesota Vikings, and that was in Week 9 at the Arizona Cardinals. He totaled one tackle on 18 defensive snaps and one special teams snap that day.
Full NFL waiver list revealed
If you want to check out every SINGLE name that got claimed on waivers today, we’ve got the full list here.
Jets land three players off of waivers
The Titans landed the most players off of waivers with four, but the Jets were right behind them with three. Despite having the seventh priority on the waiver wire, the Jets were still able to land the following guys:
LB Cam Jones (Chiefs)OT Esa Pole (Chiefs)TE Jelani Woods (Colts)
Patriots claim QB Tommy DeVito
One of the more interesting waiver moves came from the New England Patriots, who claimed former Giants QB Tommy DeVito. He was one of two players that New England was awarded.
QB Tommy DeVito (Giants)CB Charles Woods (Rams)
DeVito will join a QB room that includes Drake Maye and Joshua Dobbs.
Rams had more players claimed than any other team
The Rams had four players claimed on the waiver wire this year, which was the highest in the NFL.
Here’s a look at the numbers so far:
Browns make two waiver claims
The Browns had second priority on the waiver claim list and they took advantage of that by claiming two players:
CB Jarrick Bernard-Converse (Jets)RB Raheim Sanders (Chargers)
Ravens sign former Pro Bowl QB to backup Lamar Jackson
Tyler Huntley will be staying in the AFC North. The veteran quarterback got cut by the Browns this week, but he’s now heading to Baltimore after signing with the Ravens’ practice squad. It’s a return to Baltimore for Huntley, who spent the first four seasons of his career with the Ravens, including a 2022 Pro Bowl season.
Waiver order information
The waiver order is the same as the 2025 NFL Draft order, so here are the teams that had first crack at making claims:
1. Titans
2. Browns
3. Giants
4. Patriots
5. Jaguars
6. Raiders
7. Jets
8. Panthers
9. Saints
10. Bears
The Titans were allowed to claim as many players as they wanted and they took advantage of that by claiming four players. However, when you claim a player, that guy automatically hits the 53-man roster, so they’ll have to make four corresponding moves to get their roster back down to 53.
Waiver claims are in: Titans land four players
Every NFL team had until 12 p.m. ET today to turn in their first batch of waiver claims. The Titans had first priority in the waiver order and they took advantage of that by claiming four players:
CB Jalyn Armour-Davis (Ravens)CB Samuel Womack (Colts)DE C.J. Ravenell (Ravens)LB Dorian Mausi (Vikings)
If you want to see the full list of waiver claims that have been made so far, we’ve got that here.
Panthers-Vikings trade: Adam Thielen headed back to Minnesota
The Vikings currently need some help in their receiving room, so they’re bringing Adam Thielen back to Minnesota.
Here’s a look at the details of the deal:
VIKINGS GET: Adam Thielen, conditional 2026 seventh-round pick, 2027 fifth-round pick.
PANTHERS GET: 2026 fifth-round draft pick, 2027 fourth-round pick
Thielen spent the first nine years of his career in Minnesota before signing with the Panthers prior to the 2023 season. The Vikings are in need of a receiver because Jordan Addison is suspended for the first three games and Justin Jefferson is coming back from a hamstring injury.
Waiver claims, practice squads
We should find out about waiver claims teams make, plus their practice squads after 12 p.m. EST today.

Raiders final cuts including rookie QB endorsed by Tom Brady

Marquez Valdes-Scantling was one of several players to be cut on Tuesday, but he was on the only one who will be walking away with $3 million.

The 49ers placed their star receiver on the physically unable to perform list to start the season. That means he’ll have to sit out at least the first four games. The earliest Aiyuk could return is in Week 5 against the Rams.
