The Bears told Claypool to stay away from Halas Hall this week, and he won't play against the Commanders.
. He wasn’t at Soldier Field on Sunday as directed by the team. And now general manager Ryan Poles and head coach Matt Eberflus have decided it’s “best for the team” if Claypool doesn’t return to Halas Hall this week.Let’s start with the football element of this. If this is it for Claypool, he finished his 2023 season with four catches on 14 targets for 51 yards and a touchdown while playing more than 80 percent of the snaps in Weeks 1-3.
I’m in full support of the team holding a player accountable, especially in the building when it’s hard enough to be competitive on the field. We don’t really know if the Bears did what they could to avoid a point of no return, but they knew what they were getting when they traded for Claypool. How could they not make it work? How much of that is on them versus him?
Chase Claypool is likely to have played his last game as a Bear less than a year after he was traded from Pittsburgh to Chicago. Well, it’s on them — being Poles and Eberflus — that he’s here. Beyond the actual draft compensation that was required for a trade, there was some risk involved with his acquisition. The fact that Mike Tomlin and the Steelers were willing to trade him was a warning in itself.
But I still understand why Poles acquired him. The trade was made not long after Fields’ breakout game against the. Fields needed help for his development. The analysis at the time — including our own — was that it was a thin year for receivers in free agency and the draft. Poles was proactive. Of course, things changed once Claypool struggled and the draft compensation turned into the No. 32 pick.wasn’t in the picture.
