The Pittsburgh Steelers and San Francisco 49ers have agreed upon parameters for a trade that would send WR Brandon Aiyuk to Pittsburgh, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday.
I don’t necessarily think he doesn’t get traded, but I do agree Steelers are leverage for Aiyuk. I guess it just depends on if the trade parameters are near what Aiyuk is asking for; if not, it actively hurts him, cause there is another team now supporting a lesser deal. At that point, though, I have to imagine he stays with the 9ers anyway. I wouldn’t be in a hurry to join the Steelers over the 9ers.
