NFL waiver wire tracker: Every team's claims after 53-man roster cuts
All 32 teams are trimmed down to 53 players after the NFL's roster cut deadline , and now that there are hundreds of veterans, recent draft picks and promising undrafted free agents on the market, teams can begin to file waiver claims. A handful of players who were on the wrong side of the roster cut line will be fortunate enough to have a short wait before finding roster spots through the waiver process. Teams have until 1 p.m. ET on Monday, Aug. 31 to submit waiver claims. Their spot in the waiver wire order determines whether they are awarded their top priority or any secondary priorities they might file. The first waiver wire order of the season matches the 2026 NFL Draft order. That means the Las Vegas Raiders are guaranteed to secure their top waiver priority should they file one. The New York Jets , Arizona Cardinals , Tennessee Titans and New York Giants round out the first five. For the full order and a complete rundown of how the waiver process works -- including which players are subject to waivers and how practice squads are constructed) -- we have an explainer that outlines the entire system . When the waiver claims start flying in, they will be listed below. 1. S Taylor Rapp 2. CB Sean Murphy-Bunting 3. LB Elandon Roberts 4. IOL Evan Neal 5. WR Cedric Tillman 6. WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling 7. EDGE Emmanuel Ogbah 8. RB Trey Benson 9. RB Jaydon Blue 10. QB Jake Browning

Browns claim CB Mekhi Blackmon
The Browns confirmed the release of wide receiver Cedric Tillman on Thursday afternoon and they also announced that they’ve replaced him on the roster with another 2023 third-round pick. They have claimed cornerback Mekhi Blackmon off of waivers. Blackmon was cut loose by the Colts on Wednesday. Blackmon entered the NFL with the Vikings and he was traded to the Colts ahead of the 2025 season. Blackmon appeared in 15 games as a rookie, missed 2024 with a torn ACL and played in all 17 games during his only year in Indianapolis. Blackmon has 105 tackles, three interceptions, a sack and a fumble recovery for his career. Assuming he makes it through Sunday’s cut to 53 players, he’ll try to add to those totals in his third NFL stop

Quinshon Judkins Primed for Workhorse Role

Browns Think Quinshon Judkins "Can Play All Three Downs"
Cleveland Browns running backs coach Duce Staley said that RB Quinshon Judkins has "worked his ass off" to come back from his dislocated ankle and fractured fibula in Week 16 of his rookie campaign in 2025, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. "The sky is the limit ... I think that Q can play all three downs," Staley added. The 22-year-old former second-rounder from Ohio State is an emerging young RB, and although his fantasy ceiling could be limited by Cleveland's offense (especially their QB situation), Judkins is becoming a more attractive RB2 candidate for fantasy managers for what could be lots of volume. In 14 starts in his first NFL season in 2025, Judkins averaged only 3.6 yards per carry to finish with 827 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on 230 carries. He added 26 receptions for 171 yards on 36 targets in the passing game. Judkins' fantasy ceiling could be limited with Dylan Sampson serving as the Browns' top pass-catching back, but it's clear Judkins' arrow is pointing up. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 22 RB for 2026

Shedeur Sanders on QB battle with Deshaun Watson: We’re both trying to be the best version of ourselves
Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson are set to continue their competition to become Cleveland’s QB1 at training camp later this month. But before that, the two recently were down in South Florida training with some of the club’s skill players to prepare. At his youth football camp over the weekend, Sanders said that’s part of the attitude they want to put forth in the competition — they are willing to put everything aside to come together as a team. “I would say it’s the same thing that we’ve been saying from Day 1,” Sanders said, via Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. “ We’re both trying to be the best version of ourselves we could be . So we’re not going to let anything get in between of that. So it’s a level of respect that we all in the quarterback room have for each other. “And we’re not really emotional when it comes to things that we can’t control. We mainly focus on and thrive on getting better in the work every day. So if I like something he’s doing, I ask. If he likes something I do, then [he] asks. It’s conversation, and that’s what’s most effective.” Cabot noted that Cleveland’s top receivers Jerry Jeudy, Isaiah Bond, Cedric Tillman, KC Concepcion, and Denzel Boston were among the attendees at the workouts in Miami. “I think it was extremely important that us as a group, for whoever was available, was available to come down to Miami,” Sanders said. “And there were a couple other players that schedules didn’t align with it, but it’s all good for those that came and stuff. It was truly amazing. And we felt a different type of bond just outside of the facility, outside of these things. “And we all vow to continue doing our part and keep it going while we’re here. Those relationships and how funny it is when you have a lot of dialogue and in different situations where a lot of your teammates is very fun and it’s exciting. You create these real memories, these real bonds, and it’s irreplaceable. So I’m truly thankful that it happened. I know everybody that came was excited and we had a great time.” Browns rookies are set to report to training camp in Northeast Ohio on July 23, with veterans reporting on July 28

Cleveland Browns training camp 2026: WR preview, Part 2 – Filling out the back end
Yahoo Sports NFLSource ↗
The Cleveland Browns have 12 wide receivers in training camp, so we split up our receiver preview into two parts. You can catch up on Part 1 here . For Part 2 below, surely there is one gem who will rise above the rest to stick around? Height: 6-0 | Weight: 190 lbs | Age: 25 Experience: 3 years | College: Louisville Jamari Thrash was a 5th round pick by the Browns in 2024. He barely played as a rookie, but in training camp last year, he seemed to be doing well to go along with a nice preseason. Then, Isaiah Bond was signed and immediately moved ahead of Thrash it seemed like. Thrash caught 10 passes for 107 yards last year, but by midseason, he was inactive the rest of the year. In December, the team even waived him for a week before adding him back to the roster. He could benefit from the fresh eyes of a new coaching staff, so one could argue that he’s just as much in competition for that fourth receiving role as the likes of Cedric Tillman , Isaiah Bond , and Malachi Corley . But I’m expecting this to end up being the end of his time with Cleveland, or a practice squad candidate. Final Roster Odds: 10% Height: 5-11 | Weight: 200 lbs | Age: 27 Experience: 6 years | College: Oklahoma State Tylan Wallace was a 4th round pick by the Baltimore Ravens in 2021, so there’s one of the team’s few ties to new head coach Todd Monken . Don’t expect his offensive production alone to win him a roster spot, though. In 5 years with Baltimore, Wallace had 22 catches for 305 yards and 2 touchdowns. Wallace is one of the candidates this year to be a team’s, “He’s a receiver, but he really factors in on special teams.” With how bad the Browns were on special teams defense this year, besides a new special teams coach coming in, they also needed fresh personnel. Wallace isn’t known as an ace per se, but he did have 23 special teams tackles in 5 years, including 8 last year. He also has a little bit of NFL experience returning punts and kickoffs, although he was not in that role regularly with Baltimore. Final Roster Odds: 25% Height: 5-8 | Weight: 171 lbs | Age: 23 Experience: 2 years | College: South Carolina I had a thing for Gage Larvadain last year. As an undrafted free agent, he made some nice plays in training camp and led the team with 9 catches for 94 yards and 1 touchdown, 2 rushes for 20 yards (including 1 touchdown), and had 10 punt returns. I never realized how small he was until doing this write-up, but he didn’t play like a 5-8, 171 lbs receiver. During the regular season, Larvadain ended up becoming the team’s primary punt returner, finishing with 24 returns for 167 yards (7.0 yards per return). He was worked into some reps at receiver too, logging 7 catches for 71 yards and running 1 time for 3 yards. I’ll still be rooting for Larvadain in this year’s camp, but he (along with the other guys below) face an uphill battle at trying to make a positive impression with the depth ahead of them. Unlike Wallace, Larvadain did not play special teams defense a year ago. Final Roster Odds: 20% Height: 5-8 | Weight: 180 lbs | Age: 24 Experience: 1 year | College: Kent State Luke Floriea is the local kid. If you recall, he went undrafted last year, but the Browns picked up the Mentor native and Kent State alumni for training camp. Floriea has a great start to camp last year, and fans will remember this beautiful 30-yard snag that he had from Shedeur Sanders in the preseason (see below). Unfortunately, while making that same catch, he hurt his hamstring, which led to him missing the rest of camp and eventually being waived/injured. He eventually re-signed with the Browns and spent the season on the practice squad. In my head, I root for the underdog story and could see a path for Floriea overcoming the odds and winning a role in this offense. He’s already shown some good things this offseason, and those positive plays won’t go unnoticed by a new coaching staff. But, it’s still very crowded on the back end of the roster here.

KC Concepcion thinks the Browns' wide receiver group can be dangerous
Pro Football TalkSource ↗
The Browns are still sorting out who their quarterback will be in Week 1, but they have a better sense of who will be catching passes from either Deshaun Watson or Shedeur Sanders. First-round pick KC Concepcion, second-round pick Denzel Boston and free agent acquisition Tylan Wallace joined Jerry Jeudy, Cedric Tillman and Isaiah Bond in the wide receiver group this offseason. That makes for a much deeper group than the team was working with during the 2025 season and Concepcion said on NFL Network recently that he believes it has the potential to be a potent one as well. “I think that this new wide receiver room, it can be dangerous ,” Concepcion said. “Everybody complements each other. Everybody is a different receiver.” Tight end Harold Fannin was the team’s leader in receptions and receiving yards last season while Jeudy was the only wideout with more than 21 catches. The offseason moves show a desire to change things in 2026 and Concepcion thinks the team is on the right track
