Preseason hype didn't translate; Connors unclaimed on waivers.

Despite preseason hype, Dean Connors was not claimed on waivers, indicating he was not valuable enough to other teams to warrant a 53-man roster spot; the source notes that preseason performance often overstates regular season viability, and Connors' lack of waiver claim suggests his preseason buzz did not translate to NFL-level interest.
