Needless to say, the Chicago Bears are excited to acquire WR Chase Claypool. After trading a hefty second round pick, they better be. Speaking to reporters following today’s deadline, new Bears’ GM Ryan Poles briefly outlined the impact Claypool can have on Chicago’s offense.
“I thought it was important to add another impact player to our offense to go along with the guys that we currently have in the receiver room right now,” Poles said during his presser. “I like the way [QB Justin Fields] is trending and I think adding another big body who’s physical, explosive, great leaping ability, can stretch the field, but also is violent with a ball in his hand as well as a blocker, I think that enhances everyone around him.
