The Pittsburgh Steelers made a major move this week that involved two players that used to play for the Chicago Bears.
Earlier this week, the team announced that they had signed linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski, and released wide receiver Anthony Miller.
Kwiatkoski is actually a Pittsburgh native who grew up a Steelers fan so this has to be a dream come true for him. Kwiatkoski is a former fourth-round pick of the Bears out of West Virginia in 2016. He played four seasons with Chicago, two with the Las Vegas Raiders, and spent last year as a member of the Atlanta Falcons.
His best season came in 2019 when he recorded 76 combined tackles, a career-high three sacks, eight tackles for loss, four passes defensed, and an interception.
As for Miller, his two-year stint with the Steelers comes to an end after he had just signed a one-year extension with Pittsburgh in January after missing all of last season due to injury. He only appeared in one game for the team and caught one pass for two yards.

Miller was a second-round pick of the Bears back in 2018 out of Memphis. His best season was also in 2019 when he recorded a career-high 656 receiving yards. Prior to the 2021 season, Miller was traded to the Houston Texans, but released after just two games.
