The Chase Claypool era with the Chicago Bears has come to an end with a trade to the Miami Dolphins, according to Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero from the NFL Network.
The Athletic's Dianna Russini reports it's for a 2025 sixth-round pick from Miami for Claypool and a 2025 seventh-rounder from the Bears.
Bears general manager Ryan Poles acquired Claypool on November 1, 2023, from the Pittsburgh Steelers for a 2023 second-rounder that ended up being the 32nd overall selection in this year's draft. Hindsight tells us this was a steep price to pay, but adding an established big-bodied receiver to the young offense was the thought process.
