IIRC after we take the 1st guy then we rotate to the bottom of the list, so you need to make sure you pick wisely.

Nope, the waiver wire position is static and lasts until or through the 4th week of the regular season.

Also players with 4 seasons under their belt are not subject to the waiver and become FA available to anyone.

My understanding is the same as kravix. We are No. 1 on the waiver wire through week 4. Also, I heard on the radio this morning that Indy and K.C. (the last 2 teams to pick No.1) claimed 12 and 11 guys respectively off the waiver wire. No idea if we'll pick up anywhere near that many, but this does indicate that the waiver wire may have a much bigger impact on this year's roster than I was anticipating.

found this also on eHow -

From early July through December, the claiming period lasts for just 24 hours.

If two or more teams claim a player, the team with the higher priority in the waiver system gets the player.

Does seem like quite an advantage with free agents, we shall see.

so down to 3 cuts to go, this one kind of expected.

placed S Lonnie Ballantine on IR, raw skills , .

I'm glad to be wrong on this one. One of the radio guys, a former Texans TE who's name escapes me, stated what I posted. So it maybe an old version of the rule.

Texans are down to 75 after waving three today.
OLB Paul Hazel,
OL Conor Boffeli and
WR Anthony McClung.

Now 22 more need to be waived/cut/moved by 4PM Saturday.

Then practice squad of 10 rather than 8 this year.

Several good players but no big surprises in this first round of cuts, but this next round will llikely have several tough choice surprises.

Hearing rumors/tweets/radio talk that Labhart, Boswell, Starling and Potter have been cut. Too bad on Labhart. Maybe they hope to get him on the PS.... let the young guy develop......

Cuts so far:

FB Toben Opurum
WR Travis Labhart
TE Zach Potter
OT Mike Farrell
OLB Quentin Groves
S Jawanza Starling
K Chris Boswell

I'm also hoping Labhart is on the practice squad. I thought Groves played fairly well but he is 30 so I can understand them going with a younger guy with more upside.

Add Brandon Harris

Gotta be some surprises tomorrow. Gotta be.
