The trade should help the offense as it builds around Justin Fields. Claypool was a former second-round draft pick out of Notre Dame.
Per Adam Schefter, the Bears are trading a second-round pick to the Steelers. The Bears received a second and fifth-round pick for Smith in Monday’s trade.
This is a big move for the Bears. Claypool has over 2,000 yards receiving and 12 touchdowns in his first two-and-a-half seasons in the NFL. That has come with the Steelers having a quarterback carousel. Claypool was a heavily coveted wide receiver trade target.
