NFL Network reporter Aditi Kinkhabwala suggested that the Pittsburgh Steelers should explore trading for San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, if he becomes available. Aiyuk's situation with the 49ers has been complicated, as he is reportedly not playing for the team this season. While the Steelers have bolstered their receiving corps through trades, Aiyuk's potential addition is seen as risky. The team previously avoided high-risk wide receivers and may weigh this decision carefully.
- •Brandon Aiyuk may be on the trade market from the 49ers.
- •Aiyuk has a history of producing two 1,000-yard seasons.
- •Concerns remain over Aiyuk's fit in Pittsburgh after past issues.
- •Steelers have already added Michael Pittman Jr. and Germie Bernard.
- •Potential trade discussions may arise before training camp.
