Pittsburgh Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey has been offered a temporary bouncing gig in the wake of his three-game suspension.

After the NFL announced Friday that Pouncey would be suspended and fined for his role in Thursday's brawl between the Steelers and Cleveland Browns, sandwich chain Primanti Bros. reached out to Pouncey to ask if he'd be interested in working for its location in Pittsburgh's Strip District.

"The job of protecting Rudolph, I mean ... the Strip District Primanti Bros. is bigger than any game," Toni Haggerty, the Strip District Primanti's manager, said in a press release, according to CBS Pittsburgh. "We take it seriously and will only hire the best."

A Steelers fan has also started a GoFundMe page - which has already raised more than $2,400 - to pay for Pouncey's fine.
