Chase Claypool, once a rising star at wide receiver, is on the lookout for his fifth team in three years.

The former Pittsburgh Steelers standout was released by the Buffalo Bills on Thursday with an injury settlement, according to the NFL's transaction wire. He had landed on injured reserve with a toe injury two days earlier.

The Bills signed Claypool to a one-year contract in May, with the hope he could be a buy-low win for a wide receiver room low in depth. He did get some solid reviews, but the toe injury was apparently too much for the Bills to overcome.
