Brandon Aiyuk is currently being courted by several NFL teams. However, the dissatisfied wide receiver of the San Francisco 49ers has already expressed his dislike for two of these interested parties.
Since the contract negotiations with the 49ers Aiyuk is aiming for a trade soon. He has already obtained permission from his employer and has agreed with the Pittsburgh Steelersthe New England Patriots and the Cleveland Browns There are also suitable buyers on the mat.
However, the Patriots recently started to get into trouble with their bid for Aiyuk. a bloody nose and the receiver apparently shows little interest in a move to the Browns.
ESPN reporter Kimberly Martin eventually learned from various sources “that Brandon Aiyuk does not want to play for the Patriots or the Browns.” Despite attractive offers and an agreement with the 49ers, these franchises would therefore come away empty-handed.
Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area confirmed this report, saying that Aiyuk had no interest in a trade to the Patriots or Browns. However, according to his information, Cleveland is still in the running “for now.”
NFL: Steelers as the third-best winner?
Of the teams mentioned above, only the Steelers remain as potential buyers. If Aiyuk does not reach a surprising agreement with the 49s, NFL insider Mike Garafolo sees only one scenario as possible.
“If you ask me how this will ultimately end, I think it will end with Brandon Aiyuk being traded to the Steelers, but we’re not there yet,” Garafolo said on NFL Network on Wednesday.
Negotiations with Pittsburgh could meanwhile degenerate into a deadlock. According to “The Athletic,” the 49ers are demanding a top-class WR in exchange for Aiyuk. The Steelers, on the other hand, only have one receiver of caliber in George Pickens, and the team from the AFC North will certainly not want to give him up.
