The Green Bay Packers were in on a trade for receiver Chase Claypool, but the Pittsburgh Steelers went with another offer instead.
According to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Packers offered a second-round pick to the Steelers for Claypool, but the Steelers went with the Bears’ offer of a second-round pick because the team figured Chicago’s pick in the second round of the 2023 draft would end up higher than Green Bay’s.
Both the Bears and Packers are 3-5 after eight games.
Instead of landing in Green Bay as a new weapon for Aaron Rodgers, Claypool is headed to Chicago to team with Darnell Mooney as the new 1-2 receiver punch for second-year quarterback Justin Fields.
