The Pittsburgh Steelers missed out on landing WR Brandon Aiyuk, as he re-signed with the San Francisco 49ers on a four-year, $120 million deal. However, the news doesn’t come as a surprise to the Steelers, as Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported that the Steelers were “not surprised” by the move and it’s what they expected.
“Steelers not surprised 49ers re-signed Brandon Aiyuk. It’s what they expected all along,” Dulac wrote on Twitter.

Even if they weren’t surprised by the move, it doesn’t show given they haven’t done much to add to their wide receiver room.
