Giants releasing Janoris Jenkins

Who is eligible to go through the waiver wire?

When an NFL team releases a player who has less than four years of NFL service, he is subject to the waiver wire process. NFL players who are released and have four or more years of accrued time in the league become immediate free agents. Accrued seasons are earned by being on the active 53-man roster for a team for six games in a single regular season, or being on an injury list for six games in a regular season.

Jenkins has been in the NFL since 2012.
