As the world keeps turning in the Brandon Aiyuk saga, more reports continue to surface.
The Pittsburgh Steelers appear to be the favorites to land the 49ers wide receiver in a trade, whenever that may be. But things have only reached this point because 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan is reportedly “bothered” by Aiyuk’s behavior during his hold-in at training camp.
And according to the San Francisco Chronicle’s Michael Silver, Shanahan gave the go-ahead to the team to move on from Aiyuk.
“Why would Kyle Shanahan sign off on such an incongruous strategy? Quite simply, according to multiple sources, the head coach is bothered by Aiyuk’s behavior, from the receiver’s conspicuous ‘bro hugs’ to his perceived brooding, and [is] willing to move on,” Silver writes, according to the sfchronicle.
