Not only that...next on the depth chart at TE is a guy who should be moved to RT.
If Muth goes....MyCole will be number one TE by week 4.
Keep in mind Muth is due for a new deal next season...he might go in this trade..
Very interesting with Aiyuk

Why???
No. Van Jefferson can do what both of them can do already...
Because it's a TE based offense and he is your pass catching TE.

None of the other TE's on the roster can be the receiving threat Muth can be. Not in the same way. Don't be fooled by the poor way in which he has been schemed the last couple years.
Their first season on a contract like the Steelers contracts is comparatively cheap. A hell of a lot more then they are paying but comparatively cheap.

You guys better be careful what you wish for here. Aiyuk is a very good WR but he’s not this great player some seem to think he is.
He is not worth giving up a first round pick for or a second and a starter or two, no way.
My message to Kahn would be if you really feel you must have him I’d hold off and let John Lynch get desperate. He doesn’t want to give him 30 million but the longer the Steelers hold out the more desperate Lynch will get. Lynch is playing chicken here and knows Aiyuk will be gone after the season so he wants as much as he can get for him now.
Hold off Kahn and even if you do t land him so what. It’s not like he puts us in contention with the elite teams in the AFC. This team has way too many question marks especially at QB, DL, CB, and OL to be thinking you’re a Aiyuk away from seriously contending.
I don’t want Kahn to panic and think this guy is the final piece because he isn’t.

So conflicting reports everywhere

Maybe I’m wrong, but outside of myself and a couple of others, I don’t get the vibe anyone wants him on this board. Where do you rate Aiyuk?
I also firmly believe Khan will not overpay, so in my mind that isn’t a concern at all.
I think if it happens the final deal will look like:
a second
A depth WR
An Olineman
Another low pick or player
28.5 million per contract
An overpayment in all areas IMO, but not horrible

Ayuk doesn't like the contract they are offering

I would take him in a heartbeat for the right package and contract. Not sure what that is but in Omar I trust. Do we need him? Hard to say. We could use him. Yes.
I put him as a top 15/20 wr. Basically a better DJ.
If pickens plays to his talent level he is better
I dont feel he is worth 28 mil per season... but no wr really should be worth that...
Yes... he wanted close to 30... they wouldnt go over 26 and i think they wanted different lengths of the contract than he did too..

I think Brandon Aiyuk is a very good WR but not going to push this team over the top. Will he help George, sure he will but could also cause an issue there to with him being the no.1 and making 30 million per season.
I just think this organization thinks they’re a Brandon Aiyuk away from competing with the elite teams and I think they’re dillusional.
We have questions at QB, can either of these two be the answer? What if neither is?
OL may be starting two rookies and they will have growing pains so that could be an issue early on. If they don’t start the two rookies that means Herbig at center and Dan Moore at LT. Not good!
Then there is the DL which has lots of questions. CB as well.
Aiyuk is surrounded by top tier players on the Niners and great coaching. No comparison between these two rosters and coaching sorry to say.

I think we have far less questions than you think we do. DL is considered a strength. I think CB will be a strength. Ol will have growing pains but both QBs have more mobility. I think Wilson will be a big improvement over what we had, and Fields can play some spot duty. Smith will make a lot of people look a lot better than Matt did.

The Chiefs could part way with Toney we could wait for him to cut and have a new DJ. A new guy for everyone to hate.

It is more of a hold-in, similar to what T.J. Watt once did. Aiyuk is attending meetings, but not practicing.
I wouldn't say his behavior has been exemplary, but in no way does it compare to Antonio Brown's meltdown.

Toney can't stay healthy. He has had a few moments, but most of the time, he sucks. Johnson is a much better player.

The 49ers' offense relies on players running good routes. Pickens doesn't do that. His numbers aren't getting much better until he improves that part of his game.
You and I also have very different definitions of almost.
Filiponi seems to think the Steelers and the 9ers have a verbal agreement on a trade but need to iron out the final details. And, Aiyuk prefers the Steelers over the Clowns. Who knows...
Kardarius Toney was phenomenal at Florida. Not so much in the NFL...

It was mostly a joke. I don't want him. He makes DJ's hands look all pro.
