It has seemed like former Notre Dame wide receiver [autotag]Chase Claypool[/autotag] had found a great situation with the Buffalo Bills.
Unfortunately for both parties, that won’t come to fruition. It was announced on Tuesday morning that Claypool was put on Injured Reserve, effectively ending his season before it even began.
It’s been a rocky transition away from the college game for the receiver, as he had a great rookie year with the Pittsburgh Steelers before everything came spiraling down. His second season was solid, although his touchdown numbers were down, but after a Claypool seemingly lost a game for the Steelers with an animated celebration, they moved on from him.

A trade to the Chicago Bears game him new life, but once again, his inability to mesh with the coaching staff saw another trade, this time to the Miami Dolphins. He didn’t stick there as Claypool signed a 1-year deal with the Bills in May, but now his next destination is up in the air.
