Sorry Pittsburgh Steelers fans, but it seems Brandon Aiyuk has his sights set elsewhere if he’s traded from the San Francisco 49ers this offseason. Despite heavy speculation linking the Steelers as prime suitors for the talented wide receiver, Aiyuk reportedly favors joining the Washington Commanders. According to ESPN’s Ryan Clark, Aiyuk has expressed a preference for Washington, casting doubt on a potential move to Pittsburgh.
The Steelers, facing significant needs at wide receiver following the departure of Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers, have been actively seeking solutions during OTAs. With George Pickens emerging as their primary target, the battle for the WR2 position remains intense among players who might typically fill lower spots on other NFL rosters. Aiyuk’s addition would bring immediate firepower to an offense hungry to capitalize on the presence of veteran quarterback Russell Wilson, who is playing under a team-friendly contract this season.
