Jacksonville is already sitting atop the league with an undefeated record, but the latest whispers coming out of Duval suggest Coach Ke may not be done loading up his arsenal. League insiders report that free agent wide receiver Chase Claypool was spotted in Jacksonville, meeting with none other than Coach Ke.
The buzz? Claypool isn’t just there to catch passes — he could be in line for a position change to tight end.
The league’s position change rule for receivers moving to tight end is strict: players must be at least 235 pounds, have 90 speed or less, and possess 55 or more run block. Almost no wideouts in Madden history meet that criteria… except Claypool. At 6’4” and 238 pounds, with just the right blend of speed and blocking, he’s the unicorn.
And this wouldn’t be uncharted territory. Claypool has been prolific in past cycles at tight end, creating matchup nightmares against linebackers too slow to cover him and safeties too small to handle his size. Dropping him into Coach Ke’s already explosive offense could be the kind of move that takes Jacksonville from dangerous to downright unstoppable.
When asked about the sighting, one anonymous source quipped, “Let’s just say Claypool didn’t come down to Jacksonville for the weather. If he signs, defensive coordinators across the league better start praying.”
With the Jaguars already riding high, the thought of Trevor Lawrence lining up under center with Etienne in the backfield, Hunter split wide, and Claypool at tight end is enough to give any defensive play-caller nightmares. For now, it’s just a rumor — but in this league, rumors have a way of turning into headlines fast.
