Today is cutdown day in the NFL. Teams must have their rosters at 53 players by 6:00 pm Eastern Time.
Over the next day or two, you will hear a lot about the waiver wire. You might be curious what that is.
Inevitably, players who are released today will generate interest from other teams across the league. There is a good chance 54th best player on the Seahawks (who will be cut) is better than the 53rd best player on the Jets (who initially will be on the roster).
How can the Jets acquire players who other teams cut? It depends on how much NFL experience they have.
Players with at least four years of NFL service time instantly become free agents. Their contract is terminated immediately, and they are free to sign a new deal with any team to be on the roster or the practice squad.
