Steelers Trade Chase Claypool to Bears for Draft Pick
Claypool Traded to Chicago for Second Rounder
In a move that shook up the NFL landscape, the Pittsburgh Steelers have traded wide receiver Chase Claypool to the Chicago Bears for a 2023 NFL Draft second-round pick. The deal was announced on November 1, 2022, at 3:03 PM PDT. This marks one of the first major moves ahead of the NFL's trade deadline.
Steelers Acquire Jackson III from Commanders
As part of the trade, the Steelers also acquired veteran cornerback William Jackson III from the Washington Commanders. Jackson III has a proven track record as a reliable cover corner, and his addition is expected to bolster the Steelers' defense.
Bears Add Depth to Receiving Corps
For the Bears, the acquisition of Claypool provides a much-needed boost to their receiving corps. Claypool, a former second-round pick himself, has shown flashes of brilliance during his time with the Steelers. His speed, size, and physicality make him a dangerous weapon in the passing game.
The trade deadline is set for November 1, 2022, at 4:00 PM ET, and it remains to be seen if there will be any further significant player movement before the cutoff.
