Steelers might be Brandon Aiyuk's 'only viable' destination | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC

[kjjr]

they don't think he worth 30M a year and don't think he is top 10 receiver but they want your trade package to be on that level. Got it

[bradleymaravalli]

49ers knew that Brandon Aiyuk would be unsatisfied but thought he would cave. Should have traded him BEFORE this year's draft. 49ers only have themselves to blame.

[RunBayou]

I'm just tired of hearing about it

Shit or get off the pot

[swacent]

I don't want him on this team anymore... Kyle should trade him for a box of crunch and munch popcorn

[viffer]

49ers had trades in place with both Cleveland and New England and Aiyuk said no. Patriots reportedly offered him $30 million. WTH does he want?

[schoon]

Until something happens don’t report. Y’all have been milking this for about a month now…

[chrispritchard]

Its always receivers that this crap always gets really weird. Bosa held out till the week of the opener but u never heard from him the whole time. Ayiuk being a damn diva

[joelmartinez]

Niners lowballed him at first and now paying for it. Could have traded him before the draft, received a first round pick, drafted a OL and WR. Pearsall was a stretch for a first round pick.

[paulcooverjr.]

It's not a leak, nothing preventing them from releasing information. Players do it on social media and most of it is childish. He asked for a trade. He turned it down. Bench the entitled brat until he accepts a trade for what we want.

[Bassball]

Is this PFT or Unbuttoned? 😂 Glad the boys are back.

[BK-ldbv]

Niners can offer him like Pittsburgh, but his agent isn’t dumb. Taxes in California vs. Pennsylvania big difference. 28m in Cali after taxes equals 22m per year. 28m in Pa. Equals 26m after taxes. Hmmm 4m more per year, do the math! What would you do?

[girlhunter]

Dude is under contract. 49ers don’t have to anything. If he doesn’t want to play he can sit out the whole season then see what teams will pay him after his deal expires.

[coilbiohazard]

Nobody is holding the team up other than the front office.
They fully control his contract.

The 49ers have a duty to make the team better, that Cleveland trade would make them better and they blew it because they need Aiyuk more. They should have sent him in a heartbeat, instead the 49ers look unreasonable trying to make Aiyuk look any way in their quest to not look like they really really want Aiyuk.

[brunodesimone]

Steelers called the 49ers bluff and the Aiyuk did too. So now it’s time to settle you expectations and get something instead of losing him in free agency. They need the money to extend Trent Williams anyways.

[thathmongboi]

You want a top ten wr but won’t pay him. You drafted him in the 1st round in 2020 and he’s been the most consistent and reliable guy on your team and now you don’t want to pay him? Lmao GTFO

[LeGoatSteppr]

This is happening bcuz Aiyuk wants to play for the Steelers Plain & Simple if the 9ers didn’t pay him. Aiyuk is a perfect Fit in Pittsburgh ✅✅

[Kennylaggins]

Ya just can’t pay a player who’s the 4th option and he gets coverage like he’s the 4th. All other teams know he’s not a 1.

[felixbilducia]

Shanahan had Julio Jones as his #1 he dont value aiyuk in the same manner so why would he pay 30 million

[Wrasseman]

Must be out of your mind if steelers will pay 30m+ for a wr. They don’t even know if they have a qb

[johnny]

Bro cant hide that he’s close with Shanahan😂 chastizin Aiyuk and saying he should stay. If he’s holding team hostage the damage is done, he’s gotta go. Steelers know that
