If the Pittsburgh Steelers miss on Brandon Aiyuk, they might not be done swinging. While Aiyuk is the biggest wide receiver price, NFL insider Albert Breer believes the team’s search for wide receiver help should Aiyuk re-sign with San Francisco.
Opining about the Steelers’ situation in a Wednesday mailbag for Sports Illustrated, Breer thinks Pittsburgh will pivot from Aiyuk to the field.
“While we’re there, I do think the Steelers will keep looking for options at wide receiver—if the Brandon Aiyuk situation doesn’t work out for them.
And a sign of where they are at the position is how they rebuffed the San Francisco 49ers’ request for a player as part of any potential trade—which is why the Niners looked around at potential second trades, moving one of the picks coming from Pittsburgh—if they’d decided to take the Steelers’ offer (which was in the neighborhood of second- and third-round draft picks).
