78thealltimegreat Posted May 3 Posted May 3 (edited) Claypool looked like the next great receiver in Pitt then got in Tomlins doghouse. Goes to Chicago and just fell off the map. Maybe it was the environment he was in the last couple years it’s definitely worth a go. Edited May 3 by 78thealltimegreat Quote
Warriorspikes51 Posted May 3 Posted May 3 Just now, Logic said: Obviously correlation does not equal causation, but... For all we know, Chase Claypool could legit be a Born Again Christian now and be motivated to play football If he causes trouble or is a bum, he can be cut in camp On the 7% chance it works out......imagine we get some version of what he was his rookie season. 3 Quote
Roundybout Posted May 3 Posted May 3 Smoot is a nice signing actually, he’s had at least 5 sacks every season between 2019-2022. Down year last year. 2 Quote
Bangarang Posted May 3 Posted May 3 Claypool is absolute trash. What a sad WR room we've given Josh. 2 1 Quote
K D Posted May 3 Posted May 3 I don't know anything about his story but why can't he stick on a team? He went to ND and they don't make any concessions for football players, you actually have to be smart and a hard worker to go to school there. I remember him being really good as a rookie too. Where did it go wrong? Quote
dma0034 Posted May 3 Posted May 3 Claypool has talent he just has to want it. Bills probably sold him on playing with an elite QB. I'd be telling him about all the money he'd make if he played up to his potential Quote
Warriorspikes51 Posted May 3 Posted May 3 Is Joe Brady's offense going to be screens and quick hits to huge physical WR's to play Bully Ball & then just "chuck it up" for contested catch? 1 Quote
HaldimandBills Posted May 3 Posted May 3 Camp body who might show enough to warrant a roster spot. Low risk. who cares. Still think Beane uses one of next years 4th and maybe one their 2nds to land a stud receiver post June 1st. Quote
ColoradoBills Posted May 3 Posted May 3 10 minutes ago, Mr. WEO said: Big Ben and Tua are "garbage"? anyway, classic Beane off-season WR addition..... Big Ben should have been retired during the Claypoole years in Pittsburgh. It wasn't like Ben in his prime. Claypoole had 9 games and 51 snaps in Miami as a TE. I'm not expecting Claypoole to make the team............but he does have talent if he wants to change his ways. I give it a one in three chance he changes his ways. 1 Quote
julian Posted May 3 Posted May 3 (edited) A talented massive 25yr old with maturity issues, maybe having a CFL team add his name to their negotiating list was exactly the type of writing on the wall he needed. If I’m simply looking at the best case scenario here, I’m super excited about the possibility of two 6’4 giants on the outside with Coleman and Claypool and Kincaid,Shakir and Samual on the inside. The odds are stacked against the dude, but man if he takes advantage of this opportunity, understanding Josh Allen is his greatest chance at redemption then this could be very appealing.

Rockpile233 Posted May 3 Posted May 3 Terrible pickup in my opinion. Awful attitude that overrides any physical talents. Not even worth it. 1 1 1 Quote
Royale with Cheese Posted May 3 Posted May 3 There honestly isn't a player in the NFL that I dislike more than Chase Claypool. Now he's wearing our colors. The only chance he has is if he's matured and humbled. But I don't see it happening. 1 Quote

Obviously Beane and Sean know MUCH more than you or myself. He could be a changed man If he is, this could be really really good Quote
Nephilim17 Posted May 3 Posted May 3 G**damn, Claypool's a bigger boy than I remembered: 6’ 4’’ 238 lbs If he gets his head on right maybe he realizes at 25 he still has a chance with Allen to make a something of his career. Quote

I give it a one in three chance he changes his ways. He had 3800 (16th) yards and 33 TDs (tied for 7th) on a 12-3 team in 2020. Why would that prompt retirement? How is that "garbage" QB play? Try again... Quote
ngbills Posted May 3 Posted May 3 I doubt he makes the roster based on his play the last couple years. I would rather we got Chark (Chargers) or OBJ (Miami)... Quote

DCOrange Posted May 3 Posted May 3 The thing about Claypool is he isn't actually very talented. He's simply athletic. One of my least favorite players in the league. 1 Quote
