Chicago Bears Grades For NFL Trade Deadline: Chase Claypool, Roquan Smith & Robert Quinn

The 2022 NFL Trade Deadline came and went and the Chicago Bears were the most active team at the trade deadline. On today’s show, Bears Now host Harrison Graham will hand out Chicago Bears Grades for the NFL Trade Deadline for Chase Claypool, Roquan Smith, Robert Quinn and Ryan Poles. Poles is proving to be a very active NFL GM and by making 3 trades over the past week, that is noticeable.

Chicago Bears NFL Trade Deadline Grades begin with the Chase Claypool trade. Chicago sent a 2023 2nd round pick to the Steelers for the 3rd-year WR. Claypool is under his rookie contract through the 2023 NFL Season which gives Matt Eberflus and Ryan Poles 1.5 seasons to evaluate the big body WR. It also gives QB Justin Fields a much needed weapon on the outside to pair with WR Darnell Mooney. On Monday, Poles traded star LB Roquan Smith to the Baltimore Ravens for a 2nd and 5th round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. During Poles’ press conference yesterday, he admitted that he thought it was a long-shot that a Smith contract extension would happen after contract negotiations stalled during Bears training camp. The Bears also shipped out Robert Quinn for a 4th round pick last week. It’s also notable that Chicago opted to not trade David Montgomery or Eddie Jackson as both were linked to Bears trade rumors this week.
