Anyone can be traded after the deadline. However, they must be exposed to waivers, which are revocable.
- If a team claims a player on waivers, they can work out a trade. If no trade can be worked out, the player's waiver status can be revoked.
- If a player clears waivers, they can be traded to ANY team.
As far as deadline for playoff eligibility-no clue.
As far as waiver order- no clue.
I believe the Bucs put a claim in SRod.
