The Pittsburgh Steelers still haven’t traded for Brandon Aiyuk, despite rumors continuing to fly about the situation. It seems like he should end up with the Steelers, but at this point, anything could happen. If Aiyuk does get traded to the Steelers, though, he’s also going to get a huge new contract. That could ruffle some feathers in the locker room with so many guys looking for new deals. Former general manager Michael Lombardi believes it could create a serious rift between the team and George Pickens.
Speaking on his podcast The GM Shuffle, Lombardi said he believes that Pickens could become frustrated if the Steelers trade for and pay Aiyuk.
