Chase Claypool, 24, joins a Bears roster in desperate need of a playmaker with his ability. The 6’4, 230-pound speedster has enjoyed an up-and-down career through his first three seasons in the league, but there’s little doubt he possesses upside as high as any wideout in the league.

Claypool has appeared in 39 games (27 starts) with 153 catches for 2,044 yards and 12 touchdowns.

The “23 2nd-rounder the Bears are sending to Pittsburgh for Chase Claypool is the one they acquired from Baltimore for Roquan Smith. So they get Claypool (1.5 years left on his contract) for Smith (.5 years left on his contract) and a 5.

Chicago still has its own second-rounder.
