Sorry, guys. I had a lot of pre-Halloween stuff to take care of last night so I am just getting around to waiver claims tonight. Here they are...

Chicago picks up Tim Dobbins (1d,1y) and Jason Taylor (2d, 1y) and drops Jason Hill

Francos picks up David Hawthorne 1d, DTS) and drops Chris Obonnaya

New Jersey picks up Correll Buckhalter (2d, 2y), Randy Starks (1d,1y) and Tyler Brayton (1d,1y)

Chalmers picks up QB Alex Smith (1d,2y) and drops Kerry Collins

Chalmers gets back a dead year for the pickup of Jason Taylor and Cincy gets back a dead year for the pickup of QB Alex Smith. Hop, you can thank me later for getting you down to 9 dead years.
