Here's an interesting note from Detroit claiming Kevin O'Connell last week:

According to league sources, four clubs placed claims for the third-round pick of the New England Patriots last season—Detroit, Cleveland, Denver and the New York Jets.

In other words, the two other teams that put in claims aside from the Jets and Lions just so happen to have a star receiver who is the subject of trade rumors. A backup quarterback who has never taken a significant snap isn't going to be the centerpiece of any major trade, but is it possible the Jets acquired him to sweeten a package for Brandon Marshall or Braylon Edwards? It's obvious Denver and Cleveland both like him.
