Chase Claypool Acquired by Chicago Bears

Steelers Receive Second-Round Pick

4-Year, $66.2 Million Contract

In a blockbuster move at the NFL trade deadline, the Chicago Bears have acquired wide receiver Chase Claypool from the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for a second-round pick. Claypool, who signed a 4-year, $66.2 million contract with the Steelers in 2020, has been a key contributor to Pittsburgh's offense in recent seasons.

The 6'4", 238-pound receiver has 154 receptions for 2,209 yards and 19 touchdowns in his three seasons with the Steelers. He is known for his physicality and big-play ability, making him a valuable weapon for any offense.

Claypool's acquisition is a significant addition to the Bears' receiving corps, which has been struggling this season. The team ranks near the bottom of the league in passing yards and touchdowns. Claypool's size and athleticism will provide quarterback Justin Fields with another reliable target, and his presence is expected to give the Bears' offense a much-needed boost.
