At the 2022 trade deadline, with the Green Bay Packers struggling and looking to upgrade their roster, general manager Brian Gutekunst aggressively pursued then-Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool, offering a 2023 second-round selection and a late-round selection, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. That, of course, never materialized as the Steelers traded Claypool to the Chicago Bears for a 2023 second-round pick because Pittsburgh believed that the Bears would finish worse than the Packers.
General manager Omar Kahn was correct; the Bears finished worse than the Packers, leaving the Steelers with the 32nd overall selection (first in the second round), instead of No.
