Steelers insider reveals 49ers demands in potential Brandon Aiyuk trade
In the seemingly never-ending negotiations between the Pittsburgh Steelers and San Fransisco 49ers for Brandon Aiyuk, another report has surfaced revealing trade demands.
According to Steel City Insiders' Jim Wexell, the Niners have asked for two first-round picks in return for their playmaker.
Meanwhile, a conflicting report (one of many since this all started in April) out of San Francisco suggests that the 49ers want Pittsburgh to include a player in the trade package.
“They wouldn’t want just draft picks in return," John Lund of KNBR in San Francisco told TribLive's Tim Benz on 105.9 The X on Wednesday. "They want a player. They want a (Pat) Freiermuth or whatever it is that the Steelers could give up. They want a player and picks. From what I’ve heard, the Steelers have only (offered) picks. … If there are no players involved, I think from a 49ers perspective, the deal is dead.”
The fact remains that, aside from the Steelers' and Niners' brass, no one knows what's being said in conversations between general managers Omar Khan and John Lynch.
Two first-round picks seem a little steep, though, and not something characteristic of the Steelers.
If a deal does come together, it'll be interesting to see what the final package is.
I was told 49ers were asking for two No. 1s. That fits this report. https://t.co/PYsp3Sa6gy
