Steelers Offer Draft Picks for 49ers' Brandon Aiyuk Amid Contract Standoff

San Francisco's star wide receiver remains in a hold-in as he seeks a new contract, with Pittsburgh emerging as a key trade contender.

The Steelers have proposed a trade involving a second-round pick and additional draft compensation for Aiyuk.
San Francisco is reluctant to trade Aiyuk, who is seeking a contract comparable to the NFL's top receivers.
Aiyuk had a career-best season in 2023 with 1,342 yards and seven touchdowns, earning All-Pro Second Team honors.
49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan remains optimistic about resolving the contract impasse before the season opener.
Pittsburgh's interest in Aiyuk follows their trade of Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers earlier this offseason.
