Chase Claypool’s brief, yet tumultuous, tenure with the Bears has come to an end.
Chicago is trading Claypool to the Dolphins, the teams announced Friday. The Bears will send a seventh-round pick in 2025 to Miami to offload the 25-year-old receiver while acquiring a 2025 sixth-round pick in return.
The relationship between Claypool and the Bears reached a tipping point over the past week when the former Steelers wideout said that the team’s game plan didn’t allow him to show the best of his abilities. Claypool was then a healthy scratch during last Sunday’s game against the Broncos and reportedly was asked to stay away from the team during its preparations for Thursday’s win over the Commanders.
