According to Field Yates of ESPN, the Green Bay Packers were one of five teams to put in a waiver claim for tight end Jordan Leggett, who was released by the New York Jets on Monday.
Why this move, despite being unsuccessful, is interesting is because the Packers already have depth at tight end after using a third-round pick on Jace Sternberger. Add in the fact they decided to keep Jimmy Graham this season and also re-signed Marcedes Lewis and Robert Tonyan.
It’s possible the Packers won’t even want to keep four tight ends on the final 53-man roster in September, but they almost certainly won’t keep five.
