The trade saga of San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk is full of twists and turns. The Pittsburgh Steelers have reportedly been out of it as recently as Monday. Then the Steelers were back in it on Tuesday. Another team heavily rumored to be in on a potential trade is the New England Patriots.
The negotiations are a bit tougher than most trades, though. The 49ers would love to keep Aiyuk. Aiyuk wants to get paid. So a potential suitor has to woo both San Francisco and Aiyuk. The Patriots’ plan for courting Aiyuk involves a lot of money, unsurprisingly.
