Nearly Four Years After They Nearly Traded for Him, Packers Give Chase Claypool Chance to Revive NFL Career
Claypool is trying to revive his NFL career after not playing since 2023, while Green Bay auditions nine players at rookie minicamp.
- On Friday, May 1, 2026, veteran wide receiver Chase Claypool attended Green Bay Packers rookie minicamp for a tryout as the team evaluates roster additions after not selecting a receiver in the 2026 NFL Draft.
- A 2020 second-round pick, Claypool produced two 800-receiving seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers before stints with the Chicago Bears, Miami Dolphins, and Buffalo Bills, having not played since 2023.
- Coach Matt LaFleur expressed optimism about the receiver, stating, "He's had some great film out there," and "He's been productive and he looks like he's in great shape."
- The Packers invited nine players to the minicamp, including running back Isaiah Jacobs, though Claypool faces a difficult path given the team's depth with Christian Watson and Jayden Reed.
- Success at this week's minicamp could earn the veteran an invitation to training camp in July, as general manager Brian Gutekunst has not been aggressive in adding offensive talent this offseason.
