Right now, everyone not on a team is on the waiver wire. Starting immediately, GMs can make claims, and they will be processed by Fantrax at 3am EST every other day (beginning October 1), and the system will use a rotating waiver claim order. This gives everyone an equal chance on claiming players. Weekly add/drop limits will be suspended at this time. Fantrax processing schedule is as follows:
October 1 3am EST October 3 3am EST October 5 3am EST October 7 3am EST
Starting October 8, 3am EST, every player not claimed by a team is a Free Agent, and the system will be based on "first come first served". This means you can claim a player, and the system will process it immediately. Note that weekly limits of 2 adds will begin at this time. Regular waiver wire rules will apply to claiming dropped players.
Remember: Prospects cannot be claimed until the conclusion of the prospect draft.

Question: Why isn't free agent processing immediate right now?
Free agent processing becomes immediate once the season begins. Although players who get dropped have to clear waivers ensuring everyone has a chance to see the player is available.
You cannot have a first-come-first-serve basis immediately following the draft. You would create a scenario where whoever happened to have the most free time wins. Everyone should have a fair shake at these players regardless of their life schedules.
