Where do the Broncos rank in the NFL's waiver wire order?

After sitting initial 53-man rosters on Tuesday, NFL teams will now look to add talent from the waiver wire.

Players with fewer than four years of experience who were cut this week are subject to the waiver wire. The waiver wire is ranked by reverse order of the previous season’s standings. So the Carolina Panthers (2-15) are No. 1 and the Kansas City Chiefs (11-6) are No. 32.

When a player is waived, teams can put in a waiver claim to add that player to their roster. Of the teams that put in a claim, the highest team in the waiver order will be awarded the player.

For example, if the Denver Broncos (No. 12) and Los Angeles Rams (No. 19) put in a claim for the same player, Denver would be awarded the player. Here’s a look at the NFL’s waiver wire order ahead of claims today.
