Report: Aiyuk trade not close after 49ers fielded offers originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

Brandon Aiyuk isn’t going anywhere … yet.

Shortly after rumors of the 49ers trading Aiyuk to the Pittsburgh Steelers swirled on social media Monday, NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported, citing sources, that San Francisco is not close to trading the All-Pro receiver despite having recent conversations with teams.

Sources: There is currently no trade in place for All-Pro WR Brandon Aiyuk to the #Steelers.

I’m told the #49ers have had discussions in recent days regarding a potential Aiyuk trade with several teams, but as of this post — nothing is finalized. pic.twitter.com/1yVcANp1LR

While NBC Sports Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco believes there is an increased likelihood Aiyuk is traded, it does not appear anything is close as the star receiver and the 49ers continue negotiating a contract extension.

Aiyuk previously requested a trade from San Francisco on July 16 before reporting to training camp, where he has watched nearly every practice from the sidelines and even has participated in team meetings behind the scenes.

It remains to be seen when — or if — Aiyuk and the 49ers will work out a deal, but as of right now a trade does not appear imminent.
