Steelers, Commanders Compete for Brandon Aiyuk

The Brandon Aiyuk trade saga involving the San Francisco 49ers continues with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Washington Commanders as key contenders. NFL insider Mike Silver reports that while the 49ers are trying to extend Aiyuk's contract, the Commanders, who previously traded Jahan Dotson, are re-entering the race largely due to the connection between Aiyuk and Commanders' quarterback Jayden Daniels from their college days. The Steelers, who have been in pursuit for weeks, might need to seek other wide receiver options if Aiyuk is not traded to them, with JuJu Smith-Schuster among potential candidates. Meanwhile, former NFL GM Michael Lombardi suggests that quarterback Ryan Tannehill could be a fit for the Steelers if they need a backup plan for their current quarterbacks, Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.
