Los Angeles Chargers 2025 NFL waiver wire order for roster cutdowns deadline

If Jim Harbaugh and the Los Angeles Chargers want to get active on the NFL waiver wire, they will need to wait behind more than 20 teams after final cuts. 

The NFL’s waiver wire order remains based off this year’s NFL draft order until Week 3 of the season, so the Chargers are pretty far down the list after the playoff appearance last year. 

As always, players let go ahead of the NFL’s final cuts deadline with less than four years of NFL experience will head to the wire, while those with more than four years enter free agency outright. A player claimed by multiple teams on the waiver wire goes to the club higher in the priority order.
