Free agent WR Chase Claypool is trying out for the Packers in rookie minicamp.

01 May 2026

The last time we saw Claypool, he was trying out for the Bills. The former second-rounder did not make the team and was later revealed to have suffered a torn ligament in his toe. Claypool did not resurface with a team in 2025, but now has a chance to impress in the Packers minicamp in hopes of earning a training camp invite. At the peak of his powers, Claypool looked like a DK Metcalf clone. He totaled over 1600 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns in his first two seasons with the Steelers, and was traded to the Bears during the 2022 season after falling out of favor in Pittsburgh. He will turn 28 this summer and could serve as decent depth for the Packers if he makes the team, especially as a replacement option for the oft-injured Christian Watson.
