Chicago Bears Acquire Chase Claypool

New Wide Receiver Set to Join the Bears

Bears Trade Second Round Pick for Steelers' Claypool

The Chicago Bears have acquired wide receiver Chase Claypool from the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for their second-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.

Claypool, 24, is a former second-round pick of the Steelers who has shown flashes of potential in his three seasons in Pittsburgh. He has 154 career receptions for 1,839 yards and 11 touchdowns.

The Bears are hoping that Claypool can be a key part of their offense moving forward. He is a big, physical receiver who can make plays down the field. He is also a good blocker, which will help the Bears' running game.

The Steelers, meanwhile, are moving on from Claypool after a disappointing 2022 season. He had just 44 receptions for 591 yards and three touchdowns in 14 games.

The trade is a win-win for both teams. The Bears get a talented young receiver who can help them win now and in the future. The Steelers get a valuable draft pick that they can use to rebuild their team.
