Jackson Meeks: Lions Practice Squad

[Cusefan69]

Yeah the Lions fans are not happy they are waiving him

Wow...surprised. Gotta believe he gets picked up.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Good news is didn't he do fairly well in terms of guaranteed money for a UDFA? Like I want to say it was $200k plus or something along those lines.

 

[DPCuse]

Steelers need a WR. Get him. And a backup QB for that matter….McCord.

 

[Irishsecra1]

I will be stunned if he makes it thru waivers.
What is the waiver wire order?

 

[Irishsecra1]

Looking at Detroit fan comments and their local media- they are all very upset that he was waived. Pretty much no one feels he will make it thru the waiver wire.
Most people think Titans, Green Bay, Vikings, Jets or San Francisco will grab him.

Worst to best records from last year? Not sure!

Yes, for pre-season and the 1st 3 weeks, the waiver wire order is the same as the draft. Then it changes to the current standings, worst to first.

If Green Bay gets him and he dominates for the Lions for the next decade I will be a very happy boy.

Funny, This morning 8/26/2025 I was looking at all the 2025 Rosters and Meeks is on the Lions roster

 

[AZOrange]

San Fran

 

[orangenauburn]

Lions should have moved on from Raymond and Patrick. Got some draft picks for them.

Meeks will be mighty elsewhere

 

[SU in Hershey]

How easy is it to bring him back on the roster at this point?

They just traded Tim Patrick but honestly they should’ve done that before the cuts. I just hope the Lions don’t get Jackson Meeks — they don’t deserve him.

I hope he goes to the Seahawks .

He has to clear waivers, Detroit has to hope no team put in a claim for him. If he didn’t get claimed he’s free to sign with any ps or be signed to any teams 53.

Thanks for the clarification! I am often unaware of how these "things" work.

I don't know about you, but I definitely don't see that happening. Too much positive exposure and potential in the preseason is going to backfire now for the Lions.

How long is someone on waivers for? Too lazy to look it up.

 

[orangefog]

I don't understand all the rules either, but is there potential for multiple teams wanting him resulting in a bidding war?

I believe waiver wire claims from yesterday's cuts are processed at noon today.

I wonder how it worked in the old days? Telegram? Packers STOP Waiver Claim STOP...

My friend worked for the NFL processing these types of transactions in the not to recent past, and they were still using fax

 

[Symphony Steve]

No. I think there's a standard rookie contract. Waiver claims are based on W-L records from the preceding year, so the claims will go from worst to first.

 

[TheHaze315]

It’s typically 24 hours but for cutdown day it’s slightly less than that. We find out after noon today what players were claimed/what players did not get claimed and are free to sign anywhere.

I suspect most players clear waivers and can be added to the practice squad. I think McCord is quite likely to end up back with the Eagles. But performing poorly made him safe for doing so. Meeks is a bigger risk of someone else claiming for their team or even practice squad--i.e. if there is a clearer path to PT.

Not 100% sure that Kyle ends up in Philly. They've now got their 'Break Glass In Case Of Emergency' third-stringer. Plus, Howie has said that they've got a bunch of draft capital and that they like to pick a QB each year.

Guess we'll find out soon enough.

We'll probably know soon. If he clears waivers it looks like the Lions will grab him for the PS.
