Chicago Bears Mailbag: Chase Claypool HYPE? Justin Fields Excited?

Chicago Bears Rumors are still hot despite the 2022 NFL Trade Deadline passing earlier this week. The Bears traded LB Roquan Smith and DE Robert Quinn, but also traded for WR Chase Claypool and the hype is REAL. Will Bears’ GM Ryan Poles extend Claypool during the NFL Offseason? Is Justin Fields happy to have a new weapon in Chicago? What does David Montgomery’s future look like after not getting traded and set to be a 2023 NFL free agent?

Bears star quarterback Justin Fields has a new target in Chase Claypool. The 24 year old pass catcher was drafted by the Steelers in the 2nd round in the 2020 NFL Draft. Claypool had a strong rookie season, tallying 873 receiving yards and 9 touchdowns. Claypool had 860 yards and 2 TDs last season as well and despite a slow-ish start to this season, he should be a big threat for the Bears offense. Will the Bears still look to the 2023 NFL draft next year for a wide receiver after the Chase Claypool trade? Ohio State WR Julian Fleming and USC’s Jordan Addison are 2 players that Poles could target next April.
