The Facts: The Bears are acquiring Claypool in a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers, a source told ESPN's Field Yates on Tuesday. The Steelers are getting the Bears' second-round pick in return for Claypool, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Diehards Line:The 2020 second-round pick has caught 32 passes for 311 yards and a touchdown for the Steelers this season. He also threw for a touchdown and has 55 yards rushing on eight carries. Claypool moved to the slot in his third season with the Steelers, and he had just one receiving touchdown this season. In Sunday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Claypool threw a touchdown pass to fullback Derek Watt. His best game came against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, when he recorded seven catches on seven targets for 96 yards. Without Claypool, Steelers receiver Miles Boykin will likely get more targets.
