In addition waiver claims go in order based on last year draft order. Then during the season it adjusts to current record. If buffalo cuts a current 53 man player who has practice squad eligibility he must velar waivers and then he is a free agent. The pay for practice squads is negotiable so s player can be paid up to the 53 man minimum roster game salary. Teams can't poach practice squad players from their next opponent ( based on a day limit before the play date if the game--5 days for a team who just played, 9 days for a team on a bye the week before) A player being activated from the practice squad is assured of 3 game checks even if they only are on the roster for one week then cut.
