The wave of Pittsburgh Steelers free agency rumors continues. This time, the dish comes from 937 The Fan personality Andrew Fillipponi. Fillipponi shared on X Tuesday morning that his sources have confirmed the Steelers’ interest in the potential for acquiring San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk.
Sources: The Steelers have looked into 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk. He’s entering the last year of his contract. Steelers would have to execute a sign and trade. But they’ve shown interest. pic.twitter.com/Ftef5j2Ddr

Following the trade of Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers, the need for depth at the position has never been more obvious, and it’s even more obvious that Aiyuk would check every box they’re missing at the position.
