The Pittsburgh Steelers reportedly believe they're on track to trade for San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk.
First he unfollowed the 49ers on social media. And now All Steelers publisher Noah Strackbein reports that the Pittsburgh Steelers essentially expect to trade for Aiyuk soon.."While nothing is imminent, they 'would be surprised if it didn't happen.' But it all comes down to compensation...What should the expectation be? Just guessing, it feels like a second-round pick and maybe a late-round pick could get the deal done...
I buy this report. If the 49ers and Aiyuk can't come to an agreement on a contract extension -- and it seems like they can't -- I don't think they'll make him play out the fifth-year option in his contract. It's not how they do business. They're a player-friendly organization. They just released Arik Armstead a month ago because he asked them to.
I'm guessing the 49ers don't want people to know that they're probably going to trade Aiyuk, because they don't want people to know they're probably going to draft a wide receiver in Round 1. Once they make that pick, I expect they'll trade Aiyuk to Pittsburgh within the next few hours. In 2018, the 49ers didn't want people to know they were going to draft a right tackle in Round 1. So they held onto Trent Brown, surprised everyone by drafting Mike McGlinchey with the 9th pick, and then traded Brown the next day.
