Overview
- Chase Claypool, 27, is at Green Bay’s rookie minicamp on a tryout basis Friday as he seeks an NFL return.
- Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Claypool looks in great shape and noted he has strong tape from earlier seasons.
- If the tryout goes well, Green Bay could sign him to its 90‑man offseason roster, though making the 53‑man team would be a steep climb given the Packers’ receiver depth.
- Claypool opened his career with two 800‑yard seasons in Pittsburgh, then saw his play and standing drop after a 2022 trade to Chicago, where coach Matt Eberflus cited issues with punctuality, respect and effort before a move to Miami in 2023.
- He joined Buffalo in 2024 but tore a ligament and tendon in his second toe, landed on injured reserve, and was released with a settlement; he later announced a 2025 comeback, and the Packers’ interest follows their failed 2022 bid to trade for him.
