Steelers Don't Have Trade In Place For Brandon Aiyuk

3 months ago

Updating a previous report, there is currently no trade in place for San Francisco 49ers All-Pro wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk to be dealt to the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to sources. The 49ers have had discussions in recent days regarding a potential Aiyuk trade with several teams, but as of this point, nothing is finalized. The Steelers have probably the most obvious need at the receiver position, but it doesn't mean they'll actually be able to pull off a trade for the former first-rounder. Heading into the final year of his current deal, the 26-year-old Aiyuk is seeking a long-term contract extension and hasn't received one from the Niners. If he were to be dealt to Pittsburgh, he'd overtake George Pickens as the team's WR1, but it would be a big downgrade in QB situation and overall offense going from San Fran to Pittsburgh.
