Could the Pittsburgh Steelers make a major splash in the near future?
That is the question that is on everyone’s minds in the National Football League right now. The Steelers consistently have been linked to San Francisco 49ers star receiver Brandon Aiyuk for weeks. At this point, it seems like he either will be in Pittsburgh or San Francisco in 2024.
It seems like a move could happen at any second but it currently is a waiting game. Pittsburgh will continue to be linked to him and CBS Sports’ Cody Benjamin mentioned it as a possible landing spot for Aiyuk.
“An incessant subject of trade rumors this offseason, Aiyuk is reportedly still in long-term contract talks with the San Francisco 49ers, attending but not partaking in training camp while (half-heartedly?) pushing for a trade to a team that’ll meet his demands for top-end money,” Benjamin said. “In the end, he’s just as likely to stay put as he is to be dealt, with the Pittsburgh Steelers one of the last remaining teams to be legitimately linked to the All-Pro. San Francisco has a tendency to let holdouts turn ugly before ultimately resolving them (see: Deebo Samuel), so the bet right now is that Aiyuk suits up for the reigning NFC champions again. Potential fits: (Los Angeles Chargers), (Washington Commanders), (and) Steelers.”
It’s unsurprising that the Steelers were linked to Aiyuk once again and it seems like they actually have a good shot of bringing the star receiver to town.
