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.
