The Buccaneers have waiver priority -- how did previous NFL teams use it?

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers hold the top waiver priority, thanks to being the worst team in the NFL last year. They'll hold that priority through week three of the regular season, and have already used it to pick up a few likely contributors, most notably safety D.J. Swearinger and tight end Tim Wright, both of whom were highly coveted by other teams.

But the biggest addition of waiver wire pickups will come the day after final cuts, when every team in the NFL is forced to cut nearly 40 players to get down to a 53-man roster.
