PITTSBURGH — The Steelers are trading receiver Chase Claypool to the Chicago Bears for a 2023 second-round draft pick.
Claypool, the No. 49 overall selection in the 2020 draft, had been the subject of trade rumors in recent weeks. Bears general manager Ryan Poles called Steelers general manager Omar Khan Tuesday morning, and the trade came together quickly.
Claypool burst into the scene as a rookie, but he’s been a disappointment since then. He had just 32 catches for 311 yards and one touchdown through the first eight games of the season.
