PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers have been negotiating back and forth with the San Francisco 49ers in an attempt to acquire Brandon Aiyuk without surrendering too much. Recent reports indicate that the 49ers are asking for a second and third-round pick for their 26-year-old star, or alternatively, a veteran wide receiver. As discussions have stalled, it remains to be seen if the Steelers will make a move.
NBC Sports' Matt Maiocco reports that the 49ers have been firm in their demands, seeking either draft picks or a veteran receiver in exchange for Aiyuk. Despite this, the 49ers have not completely ruled out the possibility of Aiyuk staying with them.
The Steelers are not desperate for Aiyuk and may be hesitant to meet the high asking price, especially given his projected $30 million annual salary. While there is still hope that Aiyuk could end up in Pittsburgh, the situation remains uncertain.
Recent updates from NFL Network suggest that negotiations between the 49ers and Aiyuk have resumed after a pause since the spring, but this does not ensure a deal will be finalized. The Steelers now face the challenge of either adjusting their offer or potentially missing out on the receiver.
As the preseason progresses, the outcome of this situation remains fluid. The Steelers must decide whether to revise their offer and find a compromise with the 49ers.
