The 49ers are still trying to work out a long-term contract with Brandon Aiyuk but also have agreed to parameters of a trade that would send the WR to the Steelers, sources told ESPN.
Adam Schefter explains to Pat McAfee the twists and turns in Brandon Aiyuk's contract saga and why the 49ers now hope to keep the wide receiver in San Francisco. The defending NFC champion 49ers don't want to trade Aiyuk, sources told ESPN, but contract negotiations have at times been contentious as the second-team All-Pro continues his hold-in at training camp.
Talks between the Niners and Steelers have quieted in recent days, but a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler that an Aiyuk trade is"one phone call away."with other teams, but also have emphasized that there is a scenario where a deal gets done to keep the four-year veteran in San Francisco. The situation could lead to several outcomes, including Aiyuk staying with the 49ers and playing out the fifth-year option on his rookie deal that would pay him $14.124 million. Sources also told ESPN last week that other teams are willing to pay Aiyuk more than twice as much as his fifth-year option but that he has balked so far at multiple offers.
