Packers Pass on Signing Chase Claypool After Rookie Minicamp Tryout

The decision underscores the uphill path veterans face when rosters are already crowded.

Overview

  • Claypool, one of nine players at Green Bay’s rookie minicamp May 1–2, was not offered a contract after reports Sunday said none of the tryouts were signed.
  • Head coach Matt LaFleur praised Claypool’s build and conditioning at the session, calling him big and in great shape.
  • Reporter Bill Huber noted that quarterbacks did not throw to the tryout receivers, which limited what evaluators could see in live routes.
  • Green Bay already carries a deep wideout group, including recent addition Skyy Moore, leaving little room for a veteran flyer.
  • The 2020 second-round pick last played in 2023 and left Bills camp in 2024 with an injury settlement, and he remains a free agent.
