Bears Acquire Claypool from Steelers – Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles turned from a seller into a buyer at today’s trade deadline. The Bears acquired wide receiver Chase Claypool from the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for a 2023 second-round draft pick, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported Tuesday, per a source informed of the move. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport added that the Steelers are receiving the Bears’ original second-round pick, not the pick they received in Monday’s deal with the Ravens for Roquan Smith.
