So bad: A signed super star player Justin Jefferson have being just announced in…..
The Pittsburgh Steelers have been looking for a wide receiver recently.
They opened up a big need at the position when they traded Diontae Johnson and have been linked to some notable names in their search.
That search seems to be getting a whole lot more interesting based on recent reports.
Insider Gerry Dulac said on March 18 that he thinks the team is looking for a “bigger catch” at the position than the free agents they’ve shown interest in.
Now that “bigger catch” may have actually been revealed.
According to 93.7 The Fan’s Andrew Fillipponi, the Steelers have shown interest in a trade for San Francisco 49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk.
The 49ers spent the 25th pick in the 2020 draft to add Aiyuk to an offense that already had a couple of impressive receiving options in George Kittle and Deebo Samuel.
It’s a decision that has looked better and better every year.
Aiyuk contributed immediately, making 60 catches for 748 yards as a rookie.
He has improved every year since.
By his third year in the league, Aiyuk had put together his first 1000-yard season in the NFL and began to raise questions about the pecking order for the 49ers’ pass catchers.
In 2023, Aiyuk made it clear that he’s the biggest receiving threat the team has.
In his fourth year in the league, Aiyuk made 75 catches for 1342 yards and reeled in seven touchdown catches.
He was rewarded with a spot on the NFL’s All-Pro Second Team for his efforts, but is still waiting to be rewarded with a big contract extension
