The San Francisco 49ers are in a tough situation with All-Pro wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk.
The veteran is looking for major money and has stayed away from the team in an effort to grab a massive extension.
But, the longer this situation goes on, the less likely it seems that a deal could get done.
This leads to many speculating on where the 1,000-yard wide receiver could end up if he doesn’t reach an agreement with the team.
NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah believes a certain AFC North team could be a great fit for him.
“If Brandon Aiyuk is truly available via trade (don’t know) I could make a strong argument Pittsburgh would be a perfect match,” Jeremiah recently tweeted.

This would make sense for multiple reasons.
First off, not only are the Steelers out of the division, but they are out of the NFC.
There is less of a chance that San Francisco would have to face him.
From a roster standpoint, the Steelers could definitely use a No. 1 wide receiver.
After trading former Pro Bowl wide receiver Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers earlier this offseason, the only capable No. 1 wide receiver that Mike Tomlin has at his disposal is George Pickens.
The team did add a veteran in Van Jefferson and a talented rookie in Roman Wilson out of Michigan.
But, those guys fit the bill of a role player more than anything else.
If the Steelers added a star like Aiyuk, quarterback Russell Wilson would have a star-studded offense around him in his first year in Pittsburgh.
