After Trading WR Chase Claypool, The Pittsburgh Steelers Are Sitting Pretty For The 2023 NFL Draft

When most expected the Pittsburgh Steelers to be quiet ahead of the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday, they made a shocking trade sending WR Chase Claypool to the Chicago Bears for a second-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. It was rumored that Pittsburgh was asking for a second-round pick in return for Claypool who is currently in his third season and has one year left on his rookie deal. This led many, including NFL insider Ian Rapoport to believe that Claypool wouldn’t be moved prior to the trade deadline due to the high price tag Pittsburgh put on their WR who hadn’t met the expectations he set in his rookie season.
