The New York Giants, along with the rest of the NFL, have set their initial 53-man rosters. Now comes the effort to use the waiver wire and free agency to upgrade what teams are starting with.

Most players released have the opportunity to latch on to their respective franchises’ practice squad. Each team is allowed 16 practice squad players. However, waiving a player subjects him to opportunity; if an NFL team values a waived player, they can claim him onto their 53-man roster. Players can also opt to join another team’s practice squad if there’s mutual interest.

The Giants currently hold the third waiver priority, meaning only the Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns can claim a waived player before them. That’s, of course, if the Giants claim a waived player.
