Question on Waivers & Salary Cap Interaction

I understand the basics for waiver claims, but do waivers work the same as the in-season auctions in terms of how/when the winning team needs to get back under the cap and total roster size? Meaning, if a team wins a claim that then puts them over the salary/roster cap, would they then have the opportunity to cut a player or would their waiver claim get skipped entirely because winning the player would make their roster temporarily illegal?

I haven’t been able to find this particular scenario addressed on the forums or rules yet, so hoping it’s not redundant. Thanks in advance to any seasoned players who know what’s up.

There is no difference. In both situations your ability to adjust lineups is locked until you cut a player to make your roster legal again.
