The San Francisco 49ers are in negotiations to secure a long-term contract with wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, but have also agreed to trade parameters with the Pittsburgh Steelers. While the 49ers prefer to retain Aiyuk, contract discussions have been challenging, leading to a potential trade that could happen with one phone call. Other teams like the Browns and Patriots have shown interest, but the Patriots have since withdrawn from negotiations.

• The 49ers are eager to keep Aiyuk but are facing contract negotiation challenges.
• A trade to the Steelers is a possibility, with other teams also interested.
