If that were the case, and I don't think it is, the feeling seems to be mutual. Quite likely it's negotiating games though.

I don’t know if anything will come to fruition, but I am hearing Omar is still trying to make big moves.

We signed ST guy Miles Killebrew..
I think he had to do it or get cut and found the $4.75m signing bonus as the desired option.

Gonna need you to define "big" in this context, brochacho.
"Dave Littlefield" big, or "a legitimately intelligent/cogent human being's definition of "big"" big?
I only ask cuz some of the stuff I've seen flying around the past week on the innerwebz just cannot be grounded in reality (e.g. "The Steelers are trading for Justin Jefferson!", etc etc).

I cannot confirm or deny that there were actual calls regarding your last paragraph. But the other side seems uninterested in moving this hypothetical player.

'Don't Be Surprised' If Steelers Make More Big Moves, Says Dulac
The legal tampering period of free agency began just a week ago, last Monday, and already it has been the wildest offseason ever for the Pittsburgh Steelers. From the signing of Russell Wilson and Patrick Queen to the trades involving Diontae Johnson, Kenny Pickett, and now Justin Fields, there...

They have, and can create more, cap space. So they are looking at moves to take advantage of the cheap QB room this season.

Personally, I would prefer Aiyuk for this offense paired with pickens.

Footballguy
Ive sern Aiyuk bandied about as well, and that's the kind of stuff I don't think is grounded in reality. I cannot fathom why the 49ers would want to trade him, or what it would take to make them even consider such.

JJ would be amazing, but 1) is Minny even considering dealing him? 2)Does Pittsburgh have the means or want to meet what Minny would want?
I bet JJ would get Minny a huge haul, probably a #1 and a second 1 or #2

Hell no to that
karl.Racki
Footballguy
Since we got Wilson and Fields, what about acquiring Sutton or DJ Moore?
karl.Racki
Footballguy
I am just guessing cause Adams got a GB a 1st and 2nd, and IMO JJ is better right now..
Only thing is, JJ has one year left at 19M, not sure the Steelers could afford him.
Leeroy Jenkins
Footballguy
Whatever I saw was a crazy offer or counteroffer that the Steelers would have been crazy to make or other team crazy to reject.
Not sure that anything ultimately gets done but there is fire around these smoke rumors. They may just go out.
karl.Racki
Footballguy
what did you see?
I saw Atlanta was supposedly offering 2 Number 1's and a 3rd for him..
karl.Racki
Footballguy
TBH, I am not sure with his contract, he is worth it for the Steelers to give up so much for, cause I am not sure they can resign him, unless they reconstruct some other guy's contracts.
It's nice to think Steelers are in conversation for him, and they are going all out, but I feel they will end up with Mike Williams or someone.

I wonder if they can/would sign Williams and Boyd. Then you have two studs on the outside and an actual slot wr. All high quality. Austin is returns and gadgets. Van Jefferson depth and Boykin special teams. That’s a great wr room.
Would love Aiyuk or Diggs but prices high and probability low. Would rather keep the draft capital I think.

More.
Godsbrother

We just rid ourselves of a couple of malcontents, please don't sign Diggs.
steelers1080

Also, no offense to him, but I'd rather sign a WR who's still on his way up, not down. So I'd rather get Aiyuk than Diggs. With Williams he feels like he's always injured, and Boyd is definitely a WR3, not a star.
I'd probably rather trade up in the 1st for a stud WR than trade for Aiyuk or Diggs. And Jefferson doesn't feel like he's leaving Minn.
If we could trade 1st, 3rd (our 2nd 3rd we got from Philly), and 2025 2nd for Chicago's pick 9 and take Rome, I'd be so happy. Chicago could still get a WR at 20 that is decent, it's just that Rome is the last of the top tier WRs. This would also let us maintain our 2nd and 3rd and 4th this year.

Whatever we do at WR it'll work. It always does. The one position I feel confident that we get right. Nothing to worry about. Draft, trade, free agency, whatever, it'll be fine.
Leeroy Jenkins
Footballguy
Wonder if that is because Tomlin was a WR. Not sure that we have had the same scouts all this time — certainly different WR coaches.
Wingnut

Sources: The Steelers have looked into 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk. He’s entering the last year of his contract. Steelers would have to execute a sign and trade. But they’ve shown interest.
Wigglytuff's Gruff

Aiyuk and Pickens is a very nice, complimentary duo.
fred_1_15301
Footballguy
With the moves they’ve already made, an addition of Aiyuk could make them a legit superbowl contender (even without a stud QB).
Diggs is just bringing in an older more expensive Diontae Johnson. He'd probably only cost about a 5th and have to pay him his $18m for one season but they gave away Diontae for less and he was only due $10M. Diggs does not seem like he'd be happy in a Arthur offense. None of that one makes sense as it seems almost everyone here agrees.
Aiyuk could be really good, even elite, but I'd pass on giving a one for him. I just hate the idea of paying twice, in trade comp and salary. This offense is not going to feature WR's, no since getting carried away paying top dollar for them in a strong and deep draft for them. Would rather see that one used on OL or one of the top 3 CB's, or a Brian Thomas type if he slipped and pay him so much less.
Just looking at how things would go next year you could probably retain Queen, whoever we pick in round one and still have $10m to spend versus what just Aiyuk would cost. I'd rather go that route.

Jefferson, Aiyuk and Boyd are names I have heard. Obviously Mike Williams too. Nothing on Diggs.

Would you trade #20 and Austin for Aiyuk?
Restructure some deals and sign him and Boyd?

UMMM, I don't know, if I trade the first, I probably want JJ.. Nothing against Aiyuk, but not sure he is worth dumping a first over.

The Fan, not sure who it was, said Steelers now my sign a stop gap guy, but isn't as flashy and they may draft a Brian Thomas in the first round.
I think at this point, nobody knows what is being talked about and is just throwing names out there.. Last night I read DK may be a target. LOL

I think I probably would....if I werent leaning into such a run heavy offense at the moment, at least. Id certainly have to consider it regardless.

Mike Williams signing with Jets.
steelers1080

Depends on the contract. #20 + Austin + $22 mil per year is a lot when we have other needs. I'd rather spend pick 20 or 51 on a WR and have an extra $16 mil to sign players... and Austin.
Though a lot of people have differing opinions on Brian Thomas, he feels like a bigger risk than some of the other WRs, but also with higher upside.
Leeroy Jenkins

Read somewhere they asked Jacksonville for #17 and some wr.
Godsbrother

I am cool with this. I really didn’t like the risk vs cost

At $15mm, I agree.
