The Chicago Bears have had enough of former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool and are on the way to getting him out of town as soon as possible.
Chase Claypool has enough talent to be one of the best wide receivers in the NFL but he refuses to put it all together to make it happen and now he has outstayed his welcome in the Windy City.
Things have gotten so bad that Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields addressed recent comments from Chase Claypool about how the team was using him in the offense. Fields said he thinks the veteran wide receiver “knows that he kind of messed up” with his public statements last week.
“He’s a talented player, and he’s a great person, has a good heart, and works really hard. Definitely going to be staying in touch with him regardless of what happens,” Fields added.
Late last month, Claypool said “no” when asked if he thought Chicago’s coaching staff was putting him in the best position to showcase his talent.
He would then be a healthy inactive for Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos. Soon afterward, it would be announced the Bears were looking to trade Claypool with the hope of getting a fifth- or sixth-round draft pick back.

After Chicago’s 31-28 loss to the Broncos, head coach Matt Eberflus said Claypool was given a choice to attend the game or stay home, and he picked the latter.
The Bears acquired Claypool from the Pittsburgh Steelers midway through the 2022 season in exchange for a 2023 second-round draft pick. He has played in ten games and has 191 receiving yards on 18 receptions and has not gotten one victory.
