Steelers fans melt down after learning Brandon Aiyuk is staying with 49ers
The months-long saga of the Pittsburgh Steelers pining after Brandon Aiyuk is over. The two-time 1,000-yard receiver stays with the San Francisco 49ers on a four-year deal worth $120 million.
And just like that, the Steelers will head into the 2024 regular season with the wide receiver room of George Pickens, Van Jefferson, Roman Wilson, Calvin Austin III and Scotty Miller. The challenge now becomes how coordinator Arthur Smith can run the offense with a corps that produced a combined 1,690 yards and eight touchdowns in 2023. Thankfully, the bulk of those numbers came via Pickens, and the spotlight will be on him to show the Steelers don't need Aiyuk.
Steelers fans aren't taking the news very well. Here are the top social media reactions to Aiyuk staying with the Niners.

Now that the Brandon Aiyuk saga is over, i don’t ever wanna hear about trades or hypothetical trades ever again. Nobody knows shit, nobody is an insider but @RapSheet and @AdamSchefter. When they tweet, its official. Thats it. Everyone else just speculating out their ass.

Glad it's over and we don't have to give up $30M and premium draft picks just for a WR, a position that's getting easier and easier to find talent at.
