Steelers Make Major Move Ahead Of NFL Trade Deadline: Reports

PITTSBURGH, PA — The Steelers parted ways with wide receiver Chase Claypool Tuesday, sending him to the Chicago Bears, according to multiple reports.

The Steelers reportedly will receive one of the Bears' two second-round draft picks in the 2023 NFL draft.

Claypool, a second-round choice by the Steelers out of Notre Dame in 2020, had 32 receptions (tied for 46th league-wide), 311 yards (63rd) and one touchdown (71st) this season.

Trade rumors have swirled around him for weeks with the development of Steelers rookie wide receiver George Pickens.

The Steelers, with a 2-6 record entering their bye week, reportedly are working on other moves before the 4 p.m. trade deadline.
