Brandon Aiyuk’s tenure in San Francisco may not be coming to an end just yet.

Aiyuk’s future with the reigning NFC champions has been in limbo since he requested a trade after not being able to negotiate a long-term contract extension this offseason. Teams such as the Pittsburgh Steelers have reportedly shown interest in acquiring the All-Pro receiver.

Then came Friday, when NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported the 49ers have “made a renewed effort in recent days to strike a long-term deal,” with Aiyuk. Pelissero also reported that the situation is fluid and teams like the Steelers are still looking to get a trade done.
