The Green Bay Packers have made their decision on Chase Claypool, and it's not the news the former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver was hoping for.

Claypool, who hasn't suited up for an NFL team since 2024, recently auditioned for the Packers in hopes of reviving his career. But according to KPRC 2 Houston's Aaron Wilson, the four-time Super Bowl champions have decided to pass—for now and likely for good. "No immediate deal for Packers and veteran wide receiver Chase Claypool after tryout, per league source, and no plan to revisit at this time," Wilson reported Monday.

It's been a tough stretch for the once-promising pass-catcher. After a standout start with the Steelers, Claypool signed a one-year deal with the Buffalo Bills ahead of the 2024-25 season but never played a snap due to a toe injury. Before that, he managed just four catches for 26 yards in nine games with the Miami Dolphins during the 2023-24 campaign.

Now 27, Claypool had been vocal about his desire to return to the league, but his tryout in Green Bay apparently didn't turn enough heads. While he likely made some plays, he wasn't enough of a standout to convince the Packers to take a chance on him, short-term or otherwise.

Still, this isn't necessarily the end of the road. With the next NFL campaign on the horizon, there's always a chance another team could give Claypool an opportunity to prove he still belongs in the big leagues.
