Terms were not officially released yet by the Steelers. However, Tom Loy of 247Sports reports that its a four year deal worth roughly 6.161 million dollars for Claypool.
Personally I can’t get over how great of a landing spot this appears to be for the former Notre Dame star. If you were a young wide receiver where would you want to go in order to have the best chance at NFL success?
It’s hard to argue with what the Steelers have done at receiver historically as a franchise, but especially in the last decade or so the talent they continuously develop at the position is seemingly unmatched.
