Cap Friendly, purveyor of all sorts of useful information, posted some dates to remember just as I was about to count up the days to figure the start of the waiver period.
Beginning today at 12:00 noon, teams can begin placing players on waivers. While October 1 is correctly listed as the last day to put a player on waivers and have them clear before the final 23-man cap-compliant roster is due on October 2, the league always allows some last-minute decisions. Players might get waived on October 2 itself.
Waivers are not a wave goodbye.
