When it comes to the waiver wire after teams set their initial 53-man rosters, some players become more popular than others when being claimed. But the player that was the most popular on the waiver wire may come as a surprise to some of you.
Former Jets TE Trevon Wesco, who was claimed by the Chicago Bears, was the surprise popular pick among teams, as a league-high four teams all put in a claim on Wesco, as noted by ESPN’s Field Yates.
Along with the Bears, the Browns, Colts and Bengals all put in a claim on the former Jet. Teams may still believe they can use his versatility in some fashion. The Bears had the highest waiver priority, so they were awarded Wesco.
8 players had multiple teams put in claims on them yesterday:
