Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy is returning to the team on a one-year deal, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. NFL.com’s Jeffri Chadiha was the first to report the news.
Bieniemy’s contract expired at the end of the 2021–22 season and he was viewed as a top candidate for a head coaching position, but just like the previous year, he’s back in Kansas City on another one-year contract. Bieniemy has been on coach Andy Reid’s staff since 2018 and the team has enjoyed consistent success on the offensive side of the ball.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes has thrived in his system and won MVP in his first full season as a starter in 2018.
