The first round of cuts are coming up in about a week. I've looked on the net but are unable to find it, how does the waiver wire work exactly? Which players does it apply to? I know unrestricted free agents don't have to go through it, but do restricted free agents? When more than one team puts in a claim on a player, how is it decided which team wins the claim? Also when the final cuts are made, what is the period of time they have to wait before they go on the practice squad?
