The San Francisco 49ers and Brandon Aiyuk might not be able to get past this impasse.
The talented wide receiver has tried to force his way out of San Francisco for months now.
Knowing that his antics weren’t working, he formally requested to be traded.
The Niners haven’t looked very interested in engaging in trade talks for his services.
But if this situation keeps escalating, they might be forced to revisit that stance.
Should that be the case, there would be plenty of teams lining up to make a run at the All-Pro wideout.
According to Bookies (via Savage Sports) on Twitter, the Pittsburgh Steelers are the odds-on favorites to land him, boasting +400 odds.

They’re followed closely by the Los Angeles Chargers (+425) and New England Patriots (+450).
Truth be told, he would be a logical choice for any of those teams.
The Steelers want to win their first playoff game since 2017, and they don’t have a clear-cut pass-catcher besides George Pickens.
The Chargers are expected to be much better next season, and while they might run a run-heavy offense, they should give Justin Herbert a bonafide target after losing both Keenan Allen and Mike Williams this offseason.
As for the Patriots, they might not be able to give him an opportunity to pursue a Super Bowl, but he’d get as many targets as he could handle.
They have plenty of voids to fill all over the roster, and landing one of the best route-runners in the game would clearly be a step in the right direction.
