For the first time throughout his contract negotiation process, San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk sat down for a lengthy interview with Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder on The Pivot Podcast. There have been a number of chapters in this saga, of particular interest to the Pittsburgh Steelers because of their perceived need for a WR2 and reports linking them specifically to the 49ers for Aiyuk or his teammate Deebo Samuel during the 2024 NFL Draft.
That event came and went and no deal occurred, so now it is a waiting game to see if Aiyuk becomes disgruntled enough to officially request a trade, which he has not done to this point.
