Tight End Steelers Tried To Claim In 2019 Back On Waivers Again

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers waived tight end Jordan Leggett on Thursday and while he’s certainly not a high-profile player, he could be one to watch when it comes to the Pittsburgh Steelers possibly having interest in him. Why? Because they had interest in him a year ago May.

Immediately following Leggett being waived by the New York Jets in May of 2019, the Steelers were one of four NFL teams that attempted to claim the Clemson product. The Buccaneers had the highest waiver priority at the time, however, and were thus awarded Leggett.

Leggett was ultimately waived by the Buccaneers at the end of the 2019 preseason and was immediately signed to their practice squad.
