Unbelievable: 49ers QB said choosing 49ers was the biggest mistake he has ever made…..

Amid Brandon Aiyuk‘s contract drama with the San Francisco 49ers, the Pittsburgh Steelers want to trade for him.

Benjamin Allbright of KOA Colorado reported that the Steelers are “trying” to acquire Aiyuk, and Allbright posted a screenshot of the text message from a source via X, formerly Twitter on April 13.

The text conversation included “Steelers trying to get Aiyuk for Russ” and “that would be a huge get opposite Pickens” in response. Pittsburgh traded for quarterback Russell Wilson this offseason, and the Steelers already have one star receiver in George Pickens.

It’s not the first time Aiyuk surfaced as a target for the Steelers. Aiyuk reacted to the first round of trade rumors with the Steelers in March on social media. He posted to Pittsburgh head coach Mike Tomlin‘s X profile with “they saying we twins” and “what you think” followed by an eyeballs emoji.

Aiyuk called it “all in fun” during “The NightCap” podcast with Chad Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on March 28. The resemblance between Tomlin and Aiyuk made waves on social media amid the initial trade rumors.

“I wake up and they’re talking about another team that they got me [linked] to trade talks or whatever,” Aiyuk said. “So I just said let me — if everyone is saying this, and, this and that — let me go ahead and just put out one of my little spots. I reverted back to Tomlin, we can have a little bit of fun with it. It’s all in fun, like I said we’re all professionals, it is what it is. But that’s where the Tomlin stuff came from.”
