It didn't take long for former Arizona Cardinals CB Marco Wilson to find a new home.
Just one day after he was officially waived by the team, the New England Patriots have reportedly claimed him according to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter.

Wilson's poor play in 2023 led to him not playing a single defensive snap in the last four weeks for Arizona while other names such as Antonio Hamilton, Starling Thomas, Kei'Trel Clark and Garrett Williams have been called upon to fill his void.
He has registered at least 10+ snaps on special teams during that time, however.
The Patriots recently snagged their fourth win of the season, leaving the Cardinals with sole possession of the No. 2 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft with just two weeks remaining in the season.
Wilson was a fourth-round pick by former Cardinals GM Steve Keim in the 2021 NFL Draft.
According to ESPN's Josh Weinfuss:
"Marco Wilson gave up 702 yards this season, which was the most by an AZ defender this season by 332 yards. It's also the fourth-most in the NFL. Two of the three players who have allowed more have played in every game and one in all but two."
The Cardinals are just 3-12 on the season.
