And you thought today would be all about the Pittsburgh Steelers roster cutdowns. You fool! The Brandon Aiyuk saga is an inescapable void and as the Steelers trimmed down to their initial 53-man roster, ESPN’s Adam Schefter was sounding the alarm that Aiyuk isn’t close to joining Pittsburgh’s new-look group.
Appearing on NFL Live Tuesday afternoon, Schefter said no trade is close to occurring.
“They’ve had trade discussions but none of those have materialized,” Schefter told the show. “And no trade right now seems close to happening at this point in time.”
Of course, everything regarding Aiyuk is fluid and Schefter made it clear, obvious as it is, the 49ers and Aiyuk have been unable to reach a contract agreement.
