Now this is funny.

The Chicago Bears have landed quarterback Connor Shaw off waivers after the New Orleans Saints also put in a claim, ESPN reported Friday.

ESPN originally reported that the Saints had landed Shaw one day after the Cleveland Browns placed him on waivers.

But another ESPN report said the Saints mistakenly sent an email to the other 31 teams in the league instead of only to the league office to put in their claim.

Whether that factored in the Bears' acquisition of Shaw before the 3 p.m. CT waiver claiming deadline was not known.

The Bears hold priority over the Saints in the waiver claiming order, and therefore would have landed Shaw with a claim regardless if they knew of the Saints' desire to get the South Carolina product.

They basically hit REPLY ALL instead of REPLY. The Seahawks also sent in a reply to pick up Shaw, but they were even farther down the waiver list than the Saints or Bears. Has to feel good for Shaw knowing that 3 teams were wanting him on waivers.
