The Pittsburgh Steelers’ as They Lost key Player Due His Multiple Report in Team…

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ ties to 49ers standout wideout Brandon Aiyuk have become even closer since trade whispers emerged over the weekend.

According to Chris Adamski of the Pittsburgh Tribune Review, the Steelers are now favored to acquire San Francisco’s top pass-catcher in a trade. Pittsburgh is the favorite to be his next team at 2/1, followed by the Carolina Panthers and New England Patriots (6/1), Arizona Cardinals (7/1) and Los Angeles Chargers (9/1).

The Steelers were allegedly interested in dealing for 49ers standout Brandon Aiyuk earlier this summer, but San Francisco general manager John Lynch promptly shot that down at the NFL League Meetings last month.

However, trade rumors resurfaced recently, with NFL source Benjamin Albright implying that a deal was imminent. Sources also informed All Steelers that they “would be surprised if it didn’t happen.” The Steelers would not pay top dollar for him, but at the right price, they would jump at the chance to add a true star to partner with George Pickens in the passing game.

Last season, Aiyuk achieved a career high of 1,342 receiving yards while also scoring seven touchdowns. He has 3,931 yards and 25 touchdowns in his first four NFL seasons.
