The Chicago Bears are trading for Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Chase Claypool, giving quarterback Justin Fields a playmaker on offense.
General manager Ryan Poles is prioritizing Fields with this move, which is reason enough to love the trade. But then there’s the fact that Chicago landed Claypool over a hated, divisional rival.
According to Josina Anderson, “it was looking like Green Bay was potentially going to offer the best deal for Chase (Claypool).” Just a few hours later, the Bears sweetened their deal and essentially stole Claypool from their rivals.
As of 8am this morning I'm told "it was looking like Green Bay was potentially going to offer the best deal for Chase (Claypool)," per league source.
