Packers will not sign Chase Claypool after receiver had tryout
GREEN BAY − The Green Bay Packers are not signing any of the tryout players who took part in their rookie minicamp May 1, including receiver Chase Claypool.
A source said the only transactions reported were the Packers signing free-agent quarterback Tyrod Taylor and releasing quarterback Desmond Ridder.
The Packers weren't necessarily in the market for a receiver but they were able to get a look at Claypool, who is trying make a comeback after a year off due to a toe injury. It also gave them time to sit down with him and get to know him in case they want to sign him at a later time.
The Packers almost sent a second-round draft pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers for Claypool in 2022, but the Chicago Bears outbid them for his services. He last played for the Buffalo Bills, but didn't appear in a game after suffering a severe toe injury in training camp.
Sports Illustrated was first to report that the Packers were not signing Claypool.
