The Pittsburgh Steelers continue to wait and see about Brandon Aiyuk.
PITTSBURGH -- While the Pittsburgh Steelers are holding out hope that they can acquire Brandon Aiyuk, it appears that the San Francisco 49ers are putting their best foot forward to ensure they won't have to deal him away.
"It's been a long, arduous, hard process, a hard journey," Lynch said. "We started this early and for whatever reason haven't been able to get it across the finish line. That's been frustrating, but the communication still has been really good both with Brandon and his agent, and we're trying to figure out solutions. You know I'm always hopeful. I'm an optimistic person in nature, and I'm always hopeful that we'll get there and get there soon.
Lynch insisted that there is no tension with Aiyuk, however, stating that heated negotiations are simply the name of the game and that the two parties hold mutual respect for one another. After Aiyuk reportedly declined deals that would have sent him to the New England Patriots and Cleveland Browns earlier this month, the Steelers and Ninersthis week that would send him to Pittsburgh. Now, all parties involved are waiting on a final decision to be made before moving forward.
