  "account": "The Los Angeles Rams find themselves 29th in the NFL's 2026 waiver order, positioned just below the current 30 teams. This ordering is determined by the original 2026 draft order prior to any trades, with the worst-performing teams occupying the higher slots. As a result of trading for Trent McDuffie, the Rams have been assigned the 29th position in this order.\n\nPlayers who have not accumulated four seasons in the NFL are subjected to waivers when their current teams decide to cut them. Once waived, these players must clear the waiver order before they can become free agents and sign with any team of their choosing. Conversely, players who have reached the four-season mark are not subject to waivers and automatically become free agents upon being cut from their previous team.",
  "summary": "The Rams are near the bottom of the waiver order after reaching the NFC title game last season.",
