If reports are to be believed, Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy is looking for a lateral move to another team so he can prove himself in an attempt to land a head coaching job in the future. If Bieniemy wants an opportunity with a team where he can make his mark, there is no better situation than with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Steelers have floundered the last two seasons with Matt Canada as the offensive coordinator. The Steelers offense is loaded with talented young skill players who could really benefit from the innovation and football mind of Bieniemy.

Bieniemy has had to operate in the shadow of Chiefs head coach Andy Reid but in Pittsburgh, the offense would be all his. This Steelers team almost snuck into the playoffs last season despite all the struggles and how much Canada limited this group. There would be no limits to what this group could do if given the opportunity with Bieniemy in charge.

If the Steelers don’t feel like they can just do that to Canada it would be easy to put Bieniemy in a role similar to how they had Brian Flores last season with the defense. Let us know in the comments if the Steelers should try to add Beiniemy to the coaching staff.

On September 17, 2019 the Pittsburgh Steelers season was on the ropes. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was out for the season and the team was 0-2. But the front office didn’t panic. Instead they looked to make their strength stronger and made a trade with the Miami Dolphins to acquire safety Minkah Fitzpatrick.

Since coming to the Steelers, Fitzpatrick has established himself as the standard at free safety. But is this the best trade in franchise history? Maybe but there are some other contenders.

Back in 1996 the Steelers sent a second-round pick to the St. Lous Rams for a third-round pick and running back Jerome Bettis. Bettis went on to have the best career in franchise history and has a strong case that he’s the best back this team has ever had.

Another trade we’ve included is the move to go up and draft safety Troy Polamalu in 2003. Polamalu is a Hall of Famer and maybe the best defensive back to ever play for the Steelers.

Finally we have something of a wild card. In 2019 the Steelers decided enough was enough and cut ties with troubled wide receiver Antonio Brown. Pittsburgh convinced the Oakland Raiders to send them a third and fifth-round pick for Brown and Brown ran himself out of Oakland within days and never played a meaningful snap for the team. The Steelers used that third-round pick to draft wide receiver Diontae Johnson. Johnson has steadily improved and is the best receiver on the team.

Cast your vote and let us know if the Fitzpatrick trade is the best in franchise history or do you give the nod to one of the others.
