The Chicago Bears have traded Chase Claypool and a 2025 seventh-round draft pick to the Miami Dolphins for a 2025 sixth-round pick.

The Chase Claypool unspectacular era came to an abrupt end when the Bears sent the veteran receiver packing to Miami. Since arriving to Chicago in the middle of last season, Claypool has failed to provide a spark to the Bears offense. After 10 games the Bears had seen enough and found a way to deal the speedster out of town. During that span, Claypool was only able to muster up 18 receptions for 191 yards and a touchdown. His departure will D.J. Moore and Darnell Mooney a few more targets going forward.

With the arrival of Claypool to Miami, head coach Mike McDaniel has a new toy for this potent offense. At 6′-4″ and 238 lbs Claypool blazed the 40-yard dash with a 4.42 time prior to the 2020 NFL Draft. With Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Raheem Mostert, and De’Von Achane already on the roster, this team just got even faster, which is hard to believe. Claypool will be at the bottom of the totem will all these players already on offense. If anyone can unlock Claypool’s potential it is coach McDaniel. For now, Claypool is merely a stash in deeper 14-team leagues and dynasty leagues to see how he gradually gets integrated into the offense.
