Waivers reset after player signed?

Does waiver order reset after a player is signed? I ask this because in 75 I missed out on three waiver claims, but noticed that a few teams got multiple players in the same cycle. If waivers works properly, that would be impossible. Not saying I should have gotten somebody, (and I have no idea where my team is in the order or if it is even available to see) but shouldn't a team immediately go to the bottom of the list once it signs a player in a cycle?

A follow up will be if we have a chance to prioritize then which claim we would want ..

another follow up would be make it where people at least get 1 player because if it is always going to be the same person getting all those players the Waivers are going to be a not used option in this community.

Yes that is basically what I am saying. If a team gets more than one player per cycle, that means that literally NO other team put a claim on player #2.

The result of this is that the same few teams (at the top of the waiver order) will always get anyone who is cut, and other teams have zero shot at them.

AT A MINIMUM there needs to be more transparency with the waiver system.

I kind of like the worst to first preference for Waivers.

I am hoping that will mean I have zero shot at a waived player unless I am just taking over a train wreck team. However it will help provide a competitive balance to leagues, and help lower echelon teams rebuild quicker that may have had poor management previously.

Right now the worst teams get first dibs on all requests. Remember, though, that when a team claims a player off waivers they are probably going to have to also cut a player to make room for him.

was thinking about this if somehow you could only have lets say 22 on your team or even to 46 then really there is chance they wouldnt have to cut any but instead they could get like 7 or 10+ players from Wavier Wire then really they wouldnt have to cut anyone until maybe once they get the full 53 players on their team.

If you claim a player you SHOULD go to the bottom of the order in my opinion. And as other teams claim people you move back up in the order.

Idk why its not like this.

It is the same reason that the draft is "loser order". To get the league fairest as possible !
P.s: is "fairest" a legit word?
