Falcons Cut Deadline and Waiver Strategy | Atlanta Falcons News

The Atlanta Falcons’ preseason is over, and the real roster crunch begins—cuts must be finalized by August 30 at 6 PM ET. After that, the waiver wire opens, giving teams 24 hours to claim players, with priority determined by a strict waiver order. Veterans with four+ credited seasons skip waivers and hit free agency immediately, while younger players must go through waivers first, creating tough decisions for teams. The Falcons sit at waiver spot 13, meaning they’ll have to wait for others to pass on talent before claiming anyone—and may struggle to keep their own promising young players from being scooped up by rivals.
