Chase Claypool is the newest wide receiver for the Chicago Bears. He was traded there from the Pittsburgh Steelers on Trade Deadline Day. Ahead of his first game for the Bears against the Miami Dolphins in Week 9 the 24-year-old gives his thoughts on the trade and his performances so far this season.

Munich/Chicago – Chase Claypool apparently wasn’t always happy with his time with the Pittsburgh Steelers. After being traded to the Chicago Bears, the wide receiver shares his thoughts on the move and the current season in “Steel City”.

Ahead of his first game for the Bears against the Miami Dolphins in Week 9 the 24-year-old gives his thoughts on the trade and his performances so far this season.

Chase Claypool on season in Pittsburgh: “Couldn’t show everything this year. “

“I don’t think I’ve been able to show everything I’m capable of this year,” Claypool said of his season performance so far in Pittsburgh to reporters during a press briefing Wednesday (local time).

The wide receiver has caught just one touchdown after eight games this season and stands at 311 receiving yards.

Still, there’s no bad blood between him and the Steelers over the trade, as the Canadian insists: “I’m not mad at them because I know that’s how the business works,” Claypool said.
