Chase Claypool

Post by anpsteel » Sun Jul 06, 2025 1:53 pm

Trying to get back in the league

I’d bring him in for an interview to see where his head is at and if he’s grown up any


I would imagine he’ll get better offers and in a role that he’s likely to get more opportunity


But barring making a significant trade, he probably brings the most upside of any existing free Agent.

Also, he likely already knows most of the offense

He was traded for reasons other than his average receiving ability. No thanks.

I get it

That’s why I said you’d have to interview him to see if he’s matured any

Back then, he was all about Mapletron and Instagram


Anyway, if you interview him and come to the determination that he’s still a dbag, don’t sign him

All of the remaining free agents come with issues. Those could be declining abilities due to age, shitty attitudes, or just generally incomplete skill sets.

How much worse could Chase Claypool be?

Just a thought

I just shared what I’m thinking not necessarily what the fraudlin staff will do.

Since they love the reclamation projects and have an incomplete wr corps could be a match made in heaven.

I'm guessing his head is still where it was.
"I'm institutionalized, man," he joked. "I gotta have it. I just love the challenges week in and week out that this job provides: the growth in it, the collective growth, the individual growth."

Maybe Claypool has a younger brother who is marginally talented at football. That package should seal the deal for Tomlin.
The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.

Didn’t Tomlin give both Plax and Bryant a second chance?


I’m not a big fan of claypool, so don’t misunderstand

Im suggesting with what is currently available, he might be the best option- if his head is on straight

That’s a big if

Claypool sucked in EVERY regard while he was here

Lousy football player

Headcase

No heart

But yeah…..I guess now that he’s 47 he is a lot better

I believe he is 26 maybe 27

And he had a pretty strong rookie season

Then Mr Instagram, JuJu, got in his head

His rookie year was quite good.
But after that, he stopped doing whatever it was that made him a professional. Like someone else said, probably the WR teammates got him distracted from doing the work.

He'll probably resurface in the UFL

He should go to the UFL or any other NFL team other than this one.

He sucked at football, Without Ben.

Hell, this coaching staff sucked w/out him too.

All you need to do is check to see if he still wears these shoes and runs like the guy that made em famous.

Does the franchise need a custodian? I bet he could do that job.

Wonder if he learned how to catch a football without flopping around like a fish.

:lol: :lol:

I certainly won't miss Claypool falling down all over the place. I've never seen anything like that in my life. Even middle schoolers keep their balance better

But what about Chase's brand he worked so hard to develop and monetize!!!
