Huge drop in waiver wire claims

This has been the result of no preseason games.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported that, over the past 10 years, the average number of post-cutdown waiver claims league-wide was 41. The lack of preseason games and limited offseason workouts are the primary reasons for why Sunday's 17 claims are a far cry from that figure.

Going from an average of 41 waiver claims a season to 17 is a drastic drop. Hardly any teams were interested in taking a chance on someone else's player without any tape to watch. The Panthers, however, made 3 claims. Thanks to our new Philadelphia front office guy who knew the players well enough.

I expect we’ll see the big flurry of action come about week 3-4

Week 2 and then Week 3 imo.

As I understand it, Week 3 is the first time the order will reset based on 2020 record.  So if you are high on the list now, but win your first game or two you will be dropping on the order list.  If you are low on the list but lose your initial games, you will be a bit higher.

Jax has Colts, Titans, Fins as first 3 games while being like 9th atm.  I can see them jumping on the waiver wire after week 3 when I expect they will both jump higher in the priority combined with more tape.

Bengals (Chargers/Browns), Lions (Bears/Packers), Cards (Washington/Lions).  I could see these teams more willing to push early for someone with less tape in the Week 2 range because of the chance of an early win or two losing their 1, 3, 5 spots respectively after Week 3.

      As fans have we unanimously concluded that Bryce Young IS THE PROBLEM

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      The last thing I want to do is read what the average fan thinks.  Most can't think past the last game they watched. Now we have people trying to say we were really pretty good last year and the whole problem was just Bryce.  The coaching staff, playcalling, play of the rest of the team was not good.  Giving up on a high draft pick after nearly killing him with 9 different starter at guard, horrible play calling and a below average run game is not a recipe for a rookie QB.  I'm not blind.  His play the first two weeks of this season was awful and 100% is not good enough to play QB in the NFL, starter or backup.  If this is who he is and there is no hope for improvement then he'll be out of the league soon enough.  Go watch the All 22 film.  There is a lot of horrible plays but there are also a lot of good one.  NFL level ability, throws and runs.  More than enough examples of good plays to say if he can play like that consistently then he can be an NFL starting QB. It's very easy to see the biggest problem now is his confidence which has caused him to regress even more and make his good traits average or worse and his bad traits look like they can't be fixed. We know he's a young kid. We know last year the panthers did a horrible job putting in a position to be successful. We know that our new head coach excels at helping and training QBs. We know we've already paid a good deal of his contract. We know he's very willing to learn and has a good attitude despite his situation. We know he has the raw ability to play at this level because he has already done it. There are a great number of reasons not to throw the kid out on his butt just yet. We are at the bottom of the league.  We don't have the pleasure of throwing any potential away. Worse case we miss out on a 4th or 5th round pick.  Best case, Canales is the real deal and he turns Bryce into the player he was in college but at the NFL level.
