Sources: Eric Bieniemy's contract with Kansas City Chiefs to expire after Super Bowl, but both sides eye new deal

Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, who once again was bypassed for a head coaching job during this offseason's hiring cycle, will become a free agent after Super Bowl LV on Sunday, sources tell ESPN.

Bieniemy is coaching on an expiring contract. One reason a new deal has not gotten worked out, according to sources, is because neither the Chiefs nor Bieniemy expected to be in this position. Bieniemy had hoped he would have landed one of the seven NFL head coach openings in this cycle, and the Chiefs thought Bienemy was a favorite to get one.
