The Pittsburgh Steelers ought to think carefully before adding Brandon Aiyuk, Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk says. They have found themselves at the center of the bulk of trade rumors over the San Francisco 49ers wide receiver. Nothing as yet has materialized, but reports indicate that they have pursued the option.
In doing so, however, the Steelers would have to commit to giving Aiyuk a new contract. And Aiyuk will want a huge new contract, likely at least $30 million per season or more. The 49ers reportedly offered as much as $26 million per year, and he’s going around saying they don’t want him.
