Brandon Aiyuk: If I’m not with the Niners, I’d probably say Commanders or Steelers

Receiver Brandon Aiyuk is currently expected to play for the 49ers in 2024, but he has pondered other options that could be in play.

Aiyuk met with the 49ers this week and a report says the meeting ended with both sides saying they were I am not looking for an exchange ahead of the season. Aiyuk didn’t get a contract extension, however, and the continued lack of one means things could still heat up before September.

During an appearance on The pivotAiyuk said he didn’t think the two sides were particularly close to close a deal right now and was asked what uniforms he could see himself wearing in 2024.

” If I had to guessprobably a Niner uniform,” Aiyuk said. “Probably a Niner uniform. If not a Niner uniform, probably a Washington Commanders uniform. If not a Washington Commanders uniform, probably a Steelers uniform.

The Steelers have already mentioned as a possible landing spot for Aiyuk and he was once college teammates with Commanders rookie quarterback Jaylen Daniels, but the fact that the 49ers remain the most likely choice should give nervous 49ers fans some comfort about the where the gap will be this year.
