As we all know, the media has picked apart Chase Claypool over the last month or so. They’ve stated that the Bears were “unhappy” with him and even questioned his work ethic. This has lead many opposing critics to monitor his every move. And it all really just appeared out of nowhere. However, the Bears released a tweet today that paints a very different narrative surrounding Claypool and what he’s been up too over the summer.
Claypool Is Not A Bad Teammate?
Surprise surprise. It turns out Chase Claypool isn’t such a bad guy after all. He has been helping grow the game over seas and was even sent by the Bears to represent them in their second annual UK Mini Monsters tour. So all of those “Where’s Chase” comments can finally be put to rest.
I understand some people have inside sources. That they hear things from time to time. But this Claypool story was always suspicious to me. Just a week or two before this even became news, Justin Fields had nothing but praise of the former Steelers wide receiver.
Obviously, Chase still has to go out and prove himself and show that the Bears did not make a mistake in trading for him. And I believe he will. But the media got this one wrong. Call it a bad source. Maybe it was even a former Pittsburgh executive that dropped this nugget? Likely to create this very firestorm? I don’t know, just seems so odd. I highly doubt this came from someone in Chicago though. I mean why would the Bears trust Claypool to rep the team overseas if they were “unhappy” with him? It doesn’t add up. Perhaps Claypool said it best.
