Giants and Chargers also placed claims on Zach Mettenberger
The New York Giants and Cincinnati Bengals also put in waiver claims on quarterback Zach Mettenberger.
What It Means:
The Chargers were awarded Mettenberger on Tuesday due to them having the worst 2015 record of the three teams. The Bengals' decision to place a claim is a bit more surprising since they appear set with Andy Dalton and A.J. McCarron at quarterback. The Giants have Ryan Nassib backing up Eli Manning. Both McCarron and Nassib have been a part of trade rumors this offseason.
Among the 46 quarterbacks with at least 100 drop backs in 2015, Mettenberger's -0.24 Passing Net Expected Points (NEP) per drop back ranked 45th. McCarron ranked 13th in this metric, and Nassib has attempted just 10 regular-season passes, completing nine for 128 yards and a touchdown.
