The New England Patriots didn’t see a need for Marco Wilson’s services anymore. But an AFC playoff hopeful felt differently.
It didn’t take long for Wilson to find a new NFL home as he was claimed off waivers by the Cincinnati Bengals on Tuesday, according to the league’s transaction log, a day after being released by the Patriots.
Wilson routinely struggled this season with the Patriots and saw his playing time decrease over time serving as New England’s fourth cornerback behind Christian Gonzalez, Jonathan Jones and Marcus Jones. Wilson played just nine defensive snaps in Sunday’s loss to the Los Angeles Rams and allowed three catches for 58 yards, per Pro Football Focus.
