We're pretty low on the waiver list. That's the curse of having one of the better records in the league.

Give that a few more weeks, you won't have that issue

I’m holding out on hope he’d clear waivers because of that cap number. That in combination with his attitude.

Just a repeat from the discussion on DeSean Jackson:

"Who goes through waivers? Players with less than four years of accrued service time are subject to waivers. A player with at least four years of accrued service time, referred to as a “vested veteran” immediately becomes a free agent and is eligible to sign with any other team."

from: https://dknation.draftkings.com/nfl/...y-claims-order

OBJ would be an immediate free agent if released.

UPDATE: Reading is fundamental. From the same article:

"Is this the same all season?
No. After the trade deadline passes on November 2, vested veterans will have to go through waivers if released."

I was mistaken.

That only applies prior to the trade deadline.

Who goes through waivers?

Players with less than four years of accrued service time are subject to waivers. A player with at least four years of accrued service time, referred to as a “vested veteran” immediately becomes a free agent and is eligible to sign with any other team.

Is this the same all season?

No. After the trade deadline passes on November 2, vested veterans will have to go through waivers if released.

Edit:

I see you found it.

That goes against things I’ve read. Jackson did not immediately hit as FA. He needed to clear waivers:

I think OBJ would be the same, no?
