After nearly a year of radio silence, wide receiver Chase Claypool announced he’s healthy and looking for another chance in the NFL. A second-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft<\/a>, the Notre Dame product began his career on a high note with two consecutive 800-yard seasons. However, he quickly wore out his welcome in Pittsburgh, and the team traded him to the Chicago Bears.<\/p>\n

This move proved to be a disaster, as the wideout recorded just 18 receptions for 191 yards and a touchdown in 10 games with the club. Following a brief stint with the Miami Dolphins<\/a>, Chase Claypool hoped to revive his career with the Buffalo Bills in 2024. While an injury prevented him from playing last year, Claypool claims he’s healthy and wants to return to the field.<\/p>\n

While he’s anything but a safe bet given his health status and lack of success away from Pittsburgh, some team will allow him to compete for a spot at the bottom of a roster. In no particular order, look for the following four teams to pursue the free agent.<\/p>\n
