Seahawks Bring in Former Steelers WR
PITTSBURGH -- Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool spent the day in Seattle visiting the Seahawks, according to KPRC2's Aaron Wilson.
Claypool, 25, hasn't had much free agent interest this offseason after leaving the Miami Dolphins once his contract expired. The former second-round pick has struggled since leaving Pittsburgh, playing just 12 games last season, catching eight passes for 77 yards and a touchdown.
Claypool's last of attention sparked some interest from the Canadian Football League. The Saskatchewan Roughriders added him to their exclusive negotiation list, allowing him to sign to the team if he does leave the NFL. That ship is still very much here, but could be sailing with interest from Seattle.
Claypool played three seasons in Pittsburgh before being traded for a second-round pick to the Chicago Bears. During his time in Pittsburgh, he caught 153 passes for 2,044 yards and 12 touchdowns. He's caught just one touchdown pass since leaving. After 10 games in Chicago, the Bears traded him to the Dolphins, where he played nine games and had 26 receiving yards.
