Russini reports, 'The 49ers only were willing to trade Brandon Aiyuk if they could get a top-flight WR to replace him. They offered a third-round pick to Denver for Courtland Sutton and then would've dealt Aiyuk to the Steelers, but the Broncos declined the offer.'Breer added that the 49ers would have acquired second and third-round picks from the Pittsburgh Steelers for Aiyuk, and then would have flipped the third-rounder to the Denver Broncos for Courtland Sutton.
