Brandon Aiyuk: Steelers-49ers have deal, contract in place
The San Francisco 49ers and Pittsburgh Steelers have a trade package in place, with the onus on the Niners to accept it. Both the 49ers and Steelers are also in place to offer Aiyuk an extension, with the former already having offered a currently-unaccepted extension.
Fantasy Impact
The saga surrounding Aiyuk seems to be close to an end, but it’s impossible to tell when it will be finalized. As of now, this is the closest we have gotten to official confirmation on something materializing, confirming rumors that had already been floating around. If Aiyuk heads to Pittsburgh, it opens up opportunities for plenty of players in fantasy football, giving George Pickens a talented running mate and offering more targets in S.F.
