If that were to happen, Field will be trade bait, at best.
If they were to release him outright, his dead cap charge is 'only' $6M.
Either way, his career path is likely to follow that of Baker Mayfield, Teddy Bridgewater, Marcus Mariota, Jameis Winston, and so many others.
Especially if he keeps blaming his lack of production on coaching.
RIP DICK BUTKUS

🙏🏻 RIP.
Yup, he was a great Bear and quite the character.
Welp, that was a mess.

The #Bears are trading WR Chase Claypool to the #Dolphins, sources tell me and @TomPelissero. This ends a prolonged drama and gives Claypool a fresh start. They have tried to trade him since last week after he was a healthy scratch. Now, everyone moves on. pic.twitter.com/RKJHrllA1T
Just thankful we've got Reed and Gutey's second-rounder was rejected by the Steelers.
Agree. And of course, watch Claypool with that Miami offense just go off now.
It would be so fitting for that franchise.
He's not going to be counted on to be #1 or #1A with Waddle and Hill in the field.
If he feels like playing, he'll be fine. If he feels like just collecting a paycheck he probably won't last long.
Over / under on Claypool complaining about lack of targets. 3 games?
The Bears traded their 2nd Rounder for Claypool. But in reality, it was a 1st Rounder as it was the 32nd overall pick. Miami forfeited their 1st Round pick. So the Bears/Ryan Poles traded a 1st in 2023 and a 7th in 2025 for 6th Round pick in 2025.
All GMs make bad personnel decisions. And then there’s this type of personnel decision.
Compared to the Trubisky trade I'd say they did pretty good with the Claypool trade.

Actually it was Reed, Wicks and Brooks we got. The trade would have been for pick #45, but in the draft we traded down to #48 and got #159, then traded down again and got #50 and #179. So that 45 became 50, 159, & 179 which we drafted Reed, Wicks and Brooks.
Through 4 games:
Reed: 12 rec, 203 yards, 2 TDs
Wicks: 6 rec, 85 yards, 1 TD
Brooks: 4 tackles, 2 sacks
Claypool: 4 rec, 51 yards, 1 TD

I'll take the under
If Claypool is smart....he clearly is not....He'll shut his mouth and continue to collect a paycheck
Alternatively, he could get injured like Bakhtiari and collect from the tub.

FTFY. And I'll take under 3 series.
don't chastise, we're not too far away from that look.
I mean, it is really really funny...how the AF do you end up dancing...

The sad part is they were penalized for holding on the play.
Terrible holding call....his hands are inside. Just turrible
He's gonna get Wally Pipped by Tyson Bagent.
Can we trade a Jordan Love for a Tyrone Bagent?
Oh my
Well first step would be an NFL player named Tyrone Bagent to trade for...
Bagent stats are good, but they're nothing to get overly excited about. Yards/attempt was exceptionally low, 162 yards passing is meh. He also was helped by 173 rushing yards.

He hands off so much better than Fields does.

But he's a Bears QB. Do that consistently and you will become a top 3 Bears QB of all time.

Tyson Bagent is too weird and pervy for Tschmack....

Ripping the Bears for the trade... TBSS!!
Gotta believe the Bears have an idea of what Sweat’s agent wants in a deal and all willing to meet it. Or they are willing to put a tender on him for at least a 2.
@PackLandVA - read this Twitter thread
Greg, you cannot possibly be using raw numbers when Sweat started for two years while Gary was playing behind the best EDGE group in football.

Since 2021: Gary 20 sacks in 28 starts
Sweat: 19.5 sacks in 35 starts.
And Gary is coming off an ACL this year TORCHING Sweats #s

Bears extend Sweat for 4/$98 million with almost $73 million guaranteed. Solid trade for TBSS.
Mike Lombardi weighed in on this and said the Bears were stupid .....you get these guys in Free Agency after the season so you don't have to give up a Second Round Draft choice for them.
However, they do get him for this year too. Which would make sense if you were a CONTENDER....which clearly the bears are NOT.
But hey.....I'm all about the Bears flushing draft capital.
I've been laughing since the Trubisky trade 😆🤣
