Need some help guys
Can ANYone name A Rookie cut mid season that was signed to a 53 roster of another franchise Inside the waive window?
I have asked this question with multiple people, even HOF but strangely no one has answered the Q.
Did not think it would be this hard to answer, unless the answer is not once
Serious though, can you help?

Thanks, any links?
So was that the same weekend or he passed all waivers first? And he was put straight on the 49ers 53 man squad right?
Cheers

Close but no cigar mate. He was never on active team roster in rookie year nor was he cut mid season....

Seattle Seahawks Edit
On August 31, 2013, Harper was waived during the final roster cuts, becoming the second highest 2013 draftee to not make his NFL team's opening day roster.
San Francisco 49ers Edit
The 49ers signed him off of the Seahawks practice roster on September 2, 2013. The 49ers later waived Harper on October 17, 2013.
He never made the 53 man roster was cut, sat on PS then later picked up by 49ers but was not put on the 53 roster of the team either before getting cut
He never played on an active team roster for any franchise.
Seriously appreciate the effort though

Actually he was. For the Green Bay Packers...after he was picked up on waivers....after the 49ers cut him.
The Green Bay Packers claimed WR Chris Harper off waivers from the San Francisco 49ers on October 18, 2013.
Harper, a 6-foot-1, 228-pound rookie out of Kansas State, was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in the fourth round (No. 123 overall) of the 2013 NFL Draft. He spent time on Seattle's practice squad earlier this season and was signed to San Francisco's 53-man roster on Sept. 3.

Your original question was

He was on the 49ers 53 man roster, claimed off of waivers from Seattle near the end of the preseason. You cant claim a guy off of waivers directly to the PS.
The 49ers then waived him from their active roster and he was claimed by the Packers during the 7th week of the season and ended up on their active roster as well where he played in 4 games.

So to get to your main point, will a team claim a rookie or any player on waivers later in the season? Sure, if they like them enough. It doesnt happen often but if you have injuries or are just really crappy at the position then you wil look to bring someone in, even later on in the season.
Sometimes a team really liked a guy in the draft so if he is cut they see it as a bonus opportunity. All it takes is one team believing that you can get it done.

On further review this here seems legit.
Feel for the guy though, having bounced through two clubs firstly then to get only 4 games on ST as a runner. No revived and no yArds carry and
No tackles.. Then gets cut to go to New York gets injured and then cut again...
How much he make you think?

A guy the Niners drafted a few years back, he flashed during preseason, and didn't make the cut on the 53 with the niners so the KC Chiefs picked him up, and got exposed/abused by the 3rd-ish game.
Since then he has fizzled out.

Most likely denial.
