Overview
- The Packers, who evaluated Claypool at rookie minicamp, decided Monday there would be no contract and no plan to revisit.
- Head coach Matt LaFleur praised Claypool’s shape and past film, yet the compliments did not lead to a deal.
- Friday’s session ran at half speed with some 11-on-11 work and no quarterbacks throwing, which limited what coaches could judge from receivers.
- Claypool has not played since a 2024 toe injury ended his stint with the Bills after a nine-game run with the Dolphins produced four catches for 26 yards.
- He opened his career in Pittsburgh with 121 catches, 1,733 yards and 13 touchdowns in two seasons, then saw his production dip and now remains a free agent seeking a return.
