The Bears’ trade for Chase Claypool was a move about the growth of Justin Fields. It’s trending in the right direction and now it’s time to take the next step.
Claypool is 24 years old and has one-and-a-half seasons remaining on his rookie contract. He's cheap, young, and is an unreal athletic talent.
Those measurables have been a huge asset so far in his NFL career. In 2.5 seasons, Claypool has 34 contested catches in 94 opportunities, per Pro Football Focus. Giving up what is likely a top-40 pick for Claypool is a big gamble. There are whispers that he had been a distraction in Pittsburgh and the Steelers were ready to move on. Could a third and a sixth have gotten it done?Over the past four weeks, Fields has started to shine, elevating the bad offense built around him. The Bears have a talented receiver in Darnell Mooney but lack other pass-catching options that can create separation and make big plays.
