    If anything, the Jets week 1 opponent have had a less than ideal training camp. I was hoping this stalemate would have lasted a bit longer........

    Trent Williams holding out probably a bigger deal.

    Wow, nice scoop from Footb@ll Fanaticz. Can't believe they got this before all the insiders. They must be really plugged in.

    I don’t see this anywhere…

    The rumored asking price is 2 firsts so this seems wrong. This also isn’t really a Steelers-like move.

    "But I saw it on the internet..."

    A bit overzealous with the headline here, no?

    I feel like Aiyuk is super overrated. He doesn’t seem like a top WR to me, yet is being treated like one.

    Apparently the Patriots are out on Aiyuk. That leaves Browns & Steelers.

    I actually think that the most likely scenario is that he stays with the 49ers and caves like Deebo did, even though I selfishly want him traded for Jets reasons.

    Indeed. The big question is, can he function as a go to #1 without Deebo & Mccaffrey taking the most attention from the defense?

    The Steelers aren't known for making dumb moves.

    Looks like it may actually happen. Guess we'll see.

    He is staying with the niners.

    4 years, 120 milion, 76 million guaranteed. This makes him the 6th WR to average 30 million a year. It also means he'll be playing opening day. :(
