Even in the moment it seemed questionable that the Bears would send what would end up being a high second-round pick to the Steelers for Claypool, who was inconsistent on the field. It ended up being one of the worst trades in the NFL over many years. For the rest of Claypool's career he had 22 catches for 117 yards and one touchdown.

Claypool trade to Bears was a disaster; 22 catches, 117 yards before NFL exit.

JJ Zachariason ranks Chase Claypool's 2022 trade from the Steelers to the Bears as one of the nine worst in-season trades since 2020 and one of the worst trades in the NFL over many years. Even in the moment it seemed questionable that the Bears would send what would end up being a high second-round pick (32nd overall) to the Steelers for Claypool, who was inconsistent on the field. For the rest of Claypool's career he had just 22 catches for 117 yards and one touchdown before being out of the NFL at age 26. Meanwhile, the pick sent to the Steelers was used on Joey Porter Jr., who became one of the league's best young corners and was later traded to the Cowboys for a second- and sixth-round pick.
