Interesting point. A lot of fans have written him off already. But he was just brought in here in November and we really don't definitively know what he brings to the table in this Getsy/Fields offense yet. Obviously, he has to showcase he belongs here before you extend him. But he could still showcase a season that ends up with him getting extended. He is just 24 years old too.
Would any of you be surprised if the Bears did extend him, if he has a good season?

Sounds Like Bears May Already Have Plans To Extend Chase Claypool
ON PAPER, THE BEARS HAVE A STRONG RECEIVING CORPS, AND IF THEY COME THROUGH, WIDE RECEIVER WILL NOT BE A PRIORITY POSITION IN THE NEXT DRAFT.
GRANTED, CLAYPOOL AND DARNELL MOONEY ARE COMING OUT OF CONTRACT AFTER THIS SEASON, AND MANY FANS BELIEVE THEY WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO RE-SIGN ONE. FIRST, I DON’T BELIEVE THAT TO BE THE CASE, AND SECOND, RYAN POLES DIDN’T TRADE FOR CHASE CLAYPOOL AND GIVE UP A SECOND-ROUND PICK TO GET HIM AND THEN HAVE HIM ONLY BE AN 18-MONTH RENTAL. TRUST ME, THAT TRADE WAS MADE FOR THE LONG TERM. IN THIS OFFENSE, THEY WANT A BIG, FAST AND PHYSICAL X WIDE RECEIVER WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT CLAYPOOL IS.”
