Of all people, Claypool is being critical

Yes, it was countered but players will not forget what Eberflus said. He threw Claypool under the bus.  That undermines players’ trust in the coach to tell the truth about what happened.

The players are not worried about what Flus said regarding a guy no longer on his team. They are worried about his ability to coach, and he cannot so the team already doesn't trust him. 

We also don't actually know WHICH story is true, but seeing as he was told he's not welcome in HH, my guess is he was given a choice(they had his locker set up) and he chose, poorly. But either way it doesn't matter b/c we actually don't know who gave him the choice, or if he had one. It's all a classic Bears, a mishandled mess. And that is why the Bears players aren't going to trust any of the coaches. 

 I'd try to get SOMETHING for him, even if it's not much (it won't be much).  But get something.  There are stupid teams out there (Bears are not the only one) that might toss a 7th round pick our way.  Hey, take that.  It's better than just cutting the guy.
