Over the Pittsburgh Steelers’ long franchise history, they’ve made their fair share of bad moves. Poor draft picks, free agency signings, trades that didn’t work out. But their worst deal ever came in August 1978 when the Steelers sent speedster wide receiver Frank Lewis to the Buffalo Bills for TE Paul Seymour.
The Bills got a downfield threat in Lewis, who would go on to make the Pro Bowl in 1981, his age-34 season. Lewis spent six years in Buffalo, averaging more than 17 yards per reception. He was more productive in one fewer season and during the back half of his career than he was in seven years with Pittsburgh.
