The NFL world is buzzing right now as the trade deadline nears. With the clock ticking, rumors are heating up at a rampant pace. However, the Chicago Bears made a big move on Tuesday that has the fans hyped up. With Chase Claypool joining the team via trade, everyone is elated for Justin Fields to finally have another wide receiver on the roster.
Bears Fans Love The Idea Of Chase Claypool Helping Justin Fields
According to Adam Schefter, Chicago sends a second-round pick (the one they received from the Baltimore Ravens trade) to the Pittsburgh Steelers for Claypool. It seems like a fair offer, as the Bears acquire a talented receiver to improve the offense while Pittsburgh acquires a mid-late second-round draft pick.

However, Bears fans are elated about this deal. Not only do they acquire a solid young player, but the likelihood of Justin Fields and the offense improving is incredibly exciting. It’s a great trade for now and the future, as Chicago hopes to get the most out of their young quarterback.
Bruh my heart just smiled.

The question remains whether or not Chase Claypool is the right guy for the job. However, we have to imagine Justin Fields is rather happy with the trade.
Justin Fields finally gets some help, happy to see that.

We’ll see how it plays out. Chicago certainly has the long game in mind with this trade. It’s not like they’re playoff contenders either. As long as Justin Fields continues to improve and build chemistry with his receivers, we should see this offense become better.
