Raiders have another chance to claim Takk McKinley off waivers

Another Wednesday, another chance for the Las Vegas Raiders to claim Takk McKinley.

The Cincinnati Bengals announced on Tuesday that they waived pass rusher McKinley because he failed their physical. McKinley will be on the NFL waiver wire by Wednesday.

Last Wednesday, the Bengals were awarded him off of waivers from Atlanta Falcons. The Raiders were one of four teams to put in a waiver claim. The San Francisco 49ers and the Cleveland Browns also put in claims for him.

The Bengals were awarded the 2017 first-round pick because NFL waivers is based off records and the Bengals had the worst record of the four claiming teams.

If the 49ers, Browns and Raiders all claim McKinley again this week, the 49ers will get him. The Raiders have the lowest priority of the remaining teams.

It was not disclosed why McKinley failed his physical, but if the Raiders feel like the reason is minor, it will be worth putting in another claim.

McKinley is 25, he has 17.5 career sacks and his contract for the rest of the season is affordable at less than $1 million. The Raiders could use more pass-rush help, so the interest still may be there.

UPDATE: The 49ers plan on claiming McKinley, so there you go.
