Tapper is far more than that. He's just always hurt and has a recurring foot injury. I wouldn't be surprised if Dallas doesn't grab him in week 2 when the salary guarantee is gone.Cut down from 90 to 53...that’s 37 players.
Of those 37, how many are realistically going to be NFL players and not just mere camp bodies? I’d say 15 would be generous.
Now factor in that players with more than 4 years of experience aren’t even subject to the waiver process.
So when you really wittle it down I’m not sure that 38 waiver claims number is truly the awful percentage OP is making it to be.
Really mostly what is out there waiver eligible is failed draft picks. And I think we were all already aware that a decent percentage of draft picks end up out of the league. A lot of them nothing to do with actual football talent.
That and this forum overrates cowboys players....Tapper is large and runs fast in a straight line. Other than that he’s never demonstrated any great nfl skills. Not that surprising he wasn’t picked up.
Otherwise, teams averaged 1 claim. That's telling, which was the point.
