The Pittsburgh Steelers have been consistently linked to signing or trading for a big-name wide receiver since the start of the 2024 league year. However, GM Omar Khan has yet to pull the trigger on any major acquisitions, instead opting to add several veterans and journeymen to the roster. As training camp progresses, we have seen wide receiver chatter heat up.
One name that has been the hottest around trade discussions is that of San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk . Aiyuk, is entering the final year of his contract with the 49ers and seeking a deal that is consummate with that of the league’s highest-paid players at his position. San Fran has been unwilling to budge on negotiations, which has left Aiyuk to “sitting in” during their training camp and also demanding a trade.
It would appear that the 49ers are now listening to offers, per news that broke early this week. The San Francisco 49ers are now willing to listen to trade offers for Brandon Aiyuk and have given the star wide receiver permission to negotiate a contract with other teams.

From Inside Training Camp Live: Brandon Aiyuk remains a member of the #49ers with the #Steelers , #Browns and #Patriots among the teams in the mix. I would.
