This afternoon’s Brandon Aiyuk update is courtesy of NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. He tweeted that the San Francisco 49ers have made a renewed effort in recent days to strike a long-term deal with Aiyuk. Although the situation is fluid, and other teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers remain in the mix, a return to San Francisco appears increasingly possible.
Pelissero’s follow-up tweet said, “After months of speculation, sporadic negotiations, and recent trade talks, the 49ers are pushing to get a deal done that keeps Brandon Aiyuk in San Francisco for the long haul.
