The Brandon Aiyuk trade saga finally wrapped up last week as the San Francisco 49ers inked the All-Pro wideout to a four-year extension worth $120 million. In many ways, Aiyuk staying put appeared to be the most likely outcome, but it did seem like San Francisco came pretty close to granting his trade request.
In particular, there was a lot of reporting done on three interested teams— the Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots, and Cleveland Browns. All three appeared to have trade packages in place for Aiyuk at one point or another but the deals, obviously, never came to fruition.
