BREAKING: The Bears are trading for a STUD young wide receiver!!!!
THIS IS HUGE.
According to Adam Schefter, the Chicago Bears have traded for WR Chase Claypool.
The Steelers will receive a second-round pick back in the deal.
Claypool has recorded 28 receptions for 266 yards and a touchdown so far this season while adding 55 yards on eight carries. The Steelers have been one of the worst offenses in football throughout the season, completely lacking in explosive plays after the catch and downfield shots in the passing game.
Claypool had at least 800 receiving yards in each of his first two seasons but has struggled to find his nose for the end zone the last two seasons. After scoring 11 times as a rookie, Claypool has three scores in his last 22 games.
Claypool is under contract for $1.5 million in 2023, the final year of his rookie contract.
The 6-foot-4, 238-pound Claypool leads the Steelers with 238 snaps from the slot. The bears were not particularly linked to Claypool in trade rumors the last few days, so it's a very nice surprise.
