Where do the Bears stand?

The Steelers traded their wide receiver for a 2023 second-round draft pick. Bears fans have been at it with demands to make changes that will aid their quarterback Justin Fields.

With Claypool in their offensive lineup, he can help stretch the field alongside Darnell Mooney. The Bears’ general manager, Ryan Poles’ decision to bring in new talent signifies their need to build a solid defense around Fields. The Bears are currently 3-5 in the league, seeded behind the Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers in the NFC North. Next up, the team will take on the Miami Dolphins who are currently at 5-3. The Bears Nation will look forward to seeing Claypool in action this season.
