4 under-the-radar trade partners for Chase Claypool

4. Trade Destination No. 4: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Lastly, we come to somewhat of a wild card. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers began the season 1-0 by defeating the Minnesota Vikings behind a solid game by new starting quarterback Baker Mayfield. The former no. 1 pick proved he's still got plenty left to give, in a small sample size, and the Bucs are hoping his success lasts all season.
In the wide receiver room, the Bucs have an interesting situation with veteran Mike Evans. The long-time Buc gave the organization an ultimatum of coming to agreement on a new contract prior to Week 1, but that never even got close to happening.
Now in his last season with Tampa Bay before hitting free agency, Evans could see the Bucs try and find a trade partner for him, before they lose him for nothing at all. If the Bears could somehow pull off a trade involving both Claypool and Evans, that would be huge.
Imagine Evans opposite D.J. Moore on the field with Justin Fields at the helm. At that point, there would certainly be no excuses for Fields to succeed in Year 3. In addition, Luke Getsy would have no excuses to allow Fields to let it rip.
