San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk was reportedly very close to becoming a Pittsburgh Steeler, to the point where head coach Kyle Shanahan gave him an ultimatum that the star had to decide upon by the end of a day's practice.
Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reported on the matter Sunday morning, saying that the 49ers were on the phone with the Steelers on a trade before Aiyuk showed up the facility, Shanahan issued the ultimatum and changes of heart were made.
Aiyuk, who was a contract hold-in this summer while entering the final season of a rookie deal, agreed to a four-year, $120 million extension to stick in town.
