I apologize to Pittsburgh Steelers fans, but it seems that Brandon Aiyuk would rather trade for the Washington Commanders.
In the event that Brandon Aiyuk is traded this offseason, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been strongly mentioned as one of the San Francisco 49ers’ top trade candidates. The Steelers, who lost Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers in trade, are in dire need of receivers this offseason. But, following a story by ESPN’s Ryan Clark surfaced on Monday, it seems that Aiyuk clearly favors the Washington Commanders.
During OTAs, the Steelers’ receiver problems were widely reported. George Pickens is without a doubt the top target. However, there is a competition among guys who would be WR3 or WR4 on many NFL squads for the WR2 spot. An offense eager to capitalize on having Russell Wilson play this season on the veteran minimum would see an instant improvement under Aiyuk.
Brandon Aiyuk and Jayden Daniels are connected.
As was previously mentioned on GH, Aiyuk posted a video on TikTok in which he discusses his circumstances in San Francisco with rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels of the Washington Commanders:
Aiyuk recently shared a video on TikTok discussing his chat with Jayden Daniels of the Washington Commanders and his belief that the 49ers do not want him back. Scott Polacek described what San Francisco believed of him and his future with the organization in a Bleacher Report story.
“It raised rumors that he was talking about his current contract negotiations with the 49ers, but according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the organization does want him to stay.
