The End of Chase Claypool...

[@CKpremium1992]

Chase has so much potential and natural talent.. If dude wouldve just humbled himself, taken ownership and accountability, focused on working hard and kept his mouth shut he probably couldve turned things around.. you could have all the talent, potential and god given physical traits in the world but if your ego and character isnt in check it can destroy you.. we've seen that all to often from people at the bottom, all the way up at the highest top and everything in between.. no matter what you do in life if you want to succeed you need a strong foundation and that starts with character..

[@mandarinandthetenrings2201]

Football is a lot like boxing. If you can't take a punch you not going do well. There is a lot guys that look like Sugar Ray Lenard in the gym, but they get hit in nose they start to whine and fall apart. Chase does not like to get physical that the problem. Even when being tackled hard it bothers him. It ok not everyone has a high tolerance to pain.

I’m a Steelers fan and that Vikings game ruined Chase. We were down 0-29 by halftime. We came down to the final minute only down by 8 points….what a bone head move. Lost all our respect, didn’t care about the city, the team, Big Ben, nothing. I’m pleased the Khan Artist traded him for Joey Porter Jr

There is phenomenal talent coming into the NFL every year, people would do anything to be given the opportunity to be part of an NFL team. Claypool didn't just have 1 chance, not 2, but 3! And all 3 didn't work out. Good luck to him, but way too much other talent out there that will take advantage of the once in a lifetime opportunity.

[@ccm00007]

Claypool being Canadian is more important than most people realize. CFL teams have to have a minimum of Canadian players on their roster. Having Claypool as a WR would free up an international roster spot. Even if it's unlikely to work, this is a smart move by the Roughriders.

Too many WR think they can’t be replaced. There’s very few guys in the NFL that can’t be replaced in the matter of one draft. Most are QB’s.

[@aswinprasad1011]

I hope college WRs learn from Claypool. Just because you are hyped out coming into the nfl, doesn’t mean anything. You still need to be humble and prove yourself.

[@cigardude7]

Claypool was one of my favorite WR in recent years with the Steelers. Seems a lot of bad apples fall out of Pittsburgh after a few years. JuJu, Brown, Bell, Washington and as far back as Mike Wallace if anyone remembers. What I miss about the Steelers is the franchise type players they used to retain for 5 - 10 seasons. That really made it feel like "your team" every season. Now we are just like any other team making trades and not spending time with the good talent to help them grown professionally and personally. I have been saying for the past two seasons; bring Claypool back. Bring JuJu back and hell, bring Bell back as a way to refresh Harris and Warren. And lets not get into our QB situation... Great video. Puts a lot into perspective. Thanks!

[@jojoradio24]

I do agree with you on everything. However, it does seem as the narrator also mentioned that the Steelers org tends to be able to squeeze all the juice out of the players before releasing or trading them. If we know it and see it, the players do too. I think psychologically, they know they’re done too once they leave the burg. I can’t name 3 players who have left the Steelers within the past 10 years who went on to become pro-bowlers or MVPs. Idk what bringing back those older players would do to the culture of the team. Might not be worth it..? Corrupt minds can change the interior of any org.

Since the Dolphins are talking with Boyd (who may have an opportunity to go to Buffalo) and OBJ, resigning Barrios and Cracraft, I dont think he stays unless he is on a min contract. I think he's had a good wake up call and has the size and skill to be talented, but I think he needs a reset at this point as his head isn't in the game especially with the influence he allowed to affect him early on in his career.

[@whatssogoodaboutindy6696]

Chiefs should bring him in for preseason, and just tell him, do what we say and how we say or goodbye. Ask Toney how it works. Bring him in for basically nothing let him compete for a job, if he sucks good bye, if he does what he is told its the best chance to revive your career.

[@treysmith9371]

He just doesn’t love ball. He wasn’t driven enough to play for his own legacy and he wasn’t driven enough to create generational wealth for his family. I think he was a combination of a guy from a relatively well off family who happened to be really talented as a WR. He used that talent to coast by until he got to the league. When that wasn’t enough anymore and it came time to dig deeper, he didn’t have anything else to draw motivation from. No shame in that either, I just wish he would’ve been more transparent about football being more of a hobby for him rather than a career or a lifestyle

No way it benefits him to just hang out in Miami. The Dolphins will bring up someone on their practice squad before re-signing a guy who only got them 4 receptions last year. Btw, he could still join a UFL team. There were a couple of players who joined the XFL midseason last year. His best chance is to either play in the UFL or CFL - light it up in one of those leagues, proving you still have the ability to run routes and makes some great catches. Then MAYBE a team will give him a chance to compete for a roster spot in 2025.

[@Floridaman1780_]

He also dropped a TD that cost them a game, or at a minimum helped cost them a game. Dolphins don't need or want him, particularly after their draft and signing OBJ.

[@tod3msn]

Let me say a few things because I know what I am talking about when it comes to the CFL. First of all, this a life saver for Chase Claypool. He clearly was an immature unfocused football player. Tell me you were never immature and unfocused. He is Canadian. The CFL loves home country players and will make it easy for the Roughriders to bring Chase Claypool in for a "look see." This is not a pathetic last ditch dark hole in space but rather the oldest sports league in existence. NFL great Doug Flutie resurrected his career after losing out to Jim McMahon in the CFL and came back to play in Buffalo and San Diego. QB 49er Jeff Garcia played in the CFL to play in the NFL. Warren Moon played in the CFL to go on to play in the NFL. Bud Grant coached in the CFL. Marc Trestman coached a Grey Cup winning three Grey Cups (CFL Super Bowl). The best thing that could happen to Claypool os to mature and get serious and go to the CFL to prove he means business.
