Waiver window and how “available to be claimed until Monday afternoon” works
Per the source, every player moved to waivers today (and tomorrow as final cuts are made) “will be available to be claimed until Monday afternoon.” That phrase means teams have the remainder of the weekend and a Monday window to submit waiver claims; if a player is not claimed during that window they become a free agent and may sign with any team.
Released veterans — as distinct from waived players — become immediately available to sign with a new team. For readers tracking depth-chart moves, waivers are the mechanism that allows teams to pick up younger or non-vested players, while released veterans can be signed right away to address immediate needs.
Broncos fullback context
The roundup reproduces a reporting note from Mike Klis of 9News that the Denver Broncos have used a pattern of roster moves at the fullback spot, including cutting Adam Prentice and then using practice-squad elevations as game-day help. Pro Football Rumors relays Klis’ line that Denver will again take that route in 2026.
The site also reports that Prentice‘s salary — listed at $1.22MM in the source — “will not be guaranteed as a result of this move, but it will be paid out as long as he remains healthy through the season,” per the same reporting. Those details are attributed to Klis and the Pro Football Rumors summary.
Notable veterans and claims to watch (speculative)
Pro Football Rumors flags a few names who could generate interest after clearing waivers or hitting free agency. Treat these as potential interest rather than confirmed transactions:
- Nicholas Petit-Frere — former starter at tackle whose availability could attract teams seeking depth at that position.
- Boogie Basham — a veteran EDGE presence whose release could make him a candidate for teams wanting experienced depth.
- Wesley Bissainthe — listed among those waived, but the source notes his college-return eligibility is contingent on ongoing legal matters; that claim is contingent and should be treated as such.
What Patriots fans should watch
For New England observers, these late-August moves are primarily about practice-squad options and 53-man roster depth. The Patriots cleared several young players in this round, which could influence what types of veterans or practice-squad-eligible players the team pursues in the immediate days after waivers clear.
None of the moves in this list are presented as direct links to the Patriots. Still, fans tracking roster mechanics at Gillette Stadium should note that waived players who clear Monday afternoon become free agents and can be signed to practice squads, while released veterans are available to join the 53-man roster immediately if the team wants to add experienced depth.
Key takeaways

- Waiver claims remain possible until “Monday afternoon”; unclaimed players become free agents afterward.
