49ers Sign Brandon Aiyuk to Extension

News summary

The San Francisco 49ers have signed Brandon Aiyuk to a four-year, $120 million contract extension, concluding a prolonged holdout. Aiyuk's initial attempts to leverage his absence for better terms were unsuccessful, but he is now set to contribute to the 49ers' offense. Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Steelers, who were interested in Aiyuk as a potential signing, are left needing to bolster their wide receiver corps, especially after losing out on Noah Brown and Tim Patrick to other teams. The Steelers have begun assembling their practice squad, but they missed out on undrafted rookie safety Mark Perry, who signed with the Houston Texans instead. Perry had previously received offers from several teams, including the Steelers, highlighting their ongoing search for talent. As Pittsburgh works to fill gaps in the roster, they face a critical need for a reliable wide receiver alongside George Pickens.
