The Tennessee Titans have secured a favorable position in the NFL’s waiver wire hierarchy following the league’s roster reduction deadline. With the fourth-best waiver priority, the Titans will have an early opportunity to claim players released by other franchises during cutdown day.
General Manager Mike Borgonzi and his personnel staff can now pursue available talent before most other teams get their chance. The waiver claiming window closes Monday, August 31 at 1:00 p.m. ET. Analysts suggest the team should monitor defensive back, edge rusher, and offensive line positions as potential areas where Tennessee could find reinforcements through released players.
The current waiver order is determined by the 2026 NFL draft sequence and will remain unchanged through the first three weeks of the regular season. Starting in late September, the waiver system transitions to a standings-based format, with teams’ win-loss records dictating their claiming priority for the remainder of the year.
