Just when we thought there was no chance the San Francisco 49ers were going to trade wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, the trade talk fired back up. With that trade talk comes all the rumors and speculation that go with it and this means Pittsburgh Steelers fans are wondering if this trade really could happen.

ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter was on "The Pat McAfee Show" and said that Aiyuk has the option to refuse to go to teams who make an offer to the Niners if he isn't happy with his future landing spot. Aiyuk has mentioned the Steelers are one of his top two teams if he doesn't re-sign with the Niners along with the Washington Commanders.

Aiyuk's best friend is Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels so you can be sure if Washington makes a fair offer, Aiyuk is going to jump at the opportunity. If the Steelers do make a deal, it's going to have to be a huge trade and understand there will be an even bigger contract extension to follow.
