It’s cutdown day in the NFL, and that means around 1,184 players around the league will be getting released. Most teams will be cutting some players that would make other teams, and players they want to keep and develop. There are already several Redskins cuts being reported, and a few are expected to make the practice squad.

The rules for NFL practice squads have changed over the past few years, expanding the number from 8 to 10, allowing 2 players with 2 years experience to be signed, and then expanding that number to 4 players.

Also, a player must now have a minimum of six games - up from the current three games - on a practice squad in order for that season to count as one of the player's three permissible seasons of practice squad service.

Practice squad basics

• Each NFL team can have up to 10 players on its practice squad.
• Practice squad players ... practice with the team. They do not play in games.
• Practice squad players are paid per week and can be released at any point during the season.
• Practice squad players are free to sign with other NFL teams, but they have to be signed to the 53-man active roster of the acquiring team. A practice squad player cannot be signed to another practice squad unless he is first released.
• A practice squad player can not sign with his team's upcoming opponent, unless he does so six days before the upcoming game or 10 days if his team is currently on a bye week.
• If a practice squad player is signed to the active roster, he will receive a minimum of three weekly paychecks, even if he is released before spending three weeks with the new team.
• In order to be signed to a practice squad after being released, a player must first clear waivers, and is subject to waiver claims by other teams

Salary
NFL practice squad players make a minimum of $7,600 per week that they are on the practice squad.

If a player remains on the practice squad for an entire regular season (at a minimum salary of $7,600 per week), he would earn a minimum of $129,200 over the full regular season if he keeps his spot on the practice squad. If a team makes the playoffs, these payments continue for as long as the team is in the playoffs.

Practice squad players can be paid any amount by teams as an incentive to not sign to another team’s roster. The contracts do count towards the team’s salary cap

here are the rules since they have changed

The Washington Redskins wrapped up their preseason schedule Thursday, and now begins the process of cutting down to the 53-man roster. Teams used to cut from 90 to 75 players on Tuesday of the final week, and then down to 53 on Saturday. They removed the first cut last yesr, so now, teams are cutting from near 90 players to 53 at that final cut.

NFL rules dictate teams must reduce their rosters to 53 players no later than 4 pm today. That means almost 1,200 players will be available.

The Redskins may not be in the midst of its largest roster overhaul, but both veterans and rookies alike are scrambling to lay claim to the final spots. The Redskins are reportedly not happy with their depth at guard and could be looking to the waiver wire to fill the last spots on the depth chart. They could also try and trade for someone before they are released, but the primary method of acquiring players this weekend is the waiver process.

When a team releases a player with less than four years of service, they are subject to the waiver process. Normally when a player is released, waivers runs the next day. For roster cuts, all players run through waivers on Sunday, whether they were released on Friday or Saturday.

The process involves a priority list ranking teams for claiming players. From the first day of the league year until the conclusion of Week 3 of the 2018 regular season, the priority is based on draft order. This means that the Cleveland Browns are the No. 1 team on the waiver priority list, while the Redskins are No. 13 (where they drafted current beast DaRon Payne). This means that if the Redskins want to take a shot on a young player, they have to put a claim in on him, and then cross their fingers and hope that the twelve teams before them do not put in a claim.

You might be used to the waiver process in your fantasy football league. The NFL waiver process is different in that the No. 1 team can claim as many players from waivers as they want, and they retain priority. The Browns essentially get first dibs on every player. They will stay in that position through Week 3 of the regular season.

Any player with at least four years of service that is released is not subject to the waiver process. They immediately become free agents and can sign with any team.

We’ll be keeping an eye on roster cuts today. The 53-man rosters will be reached by then, but then there will be further turnover as teams make waiver claims

here is how waivers work

If he can get healthy, we have to have him on speed dial. Up-grading at guard is one of our top priorities.

Nske can play OG so I see us keeping 8 ol. Bergstrom should be #8. Keeping Dunn and Berstrom would be wasteful. Its either one or the other. You have to go wit the vet.
