Steelers Unwilling To Meet 49ers Big Demands For Deebo Samuel

The Steelers weren't willing to give up what the San Francisco 49ers were asking for, however. Many insiders revealed that the 49ers wanted a first rounder for Aiyuk, so it's safe to say the same would go for Samuel.  Both Aiyuk and Samuel are seemingly unhappy with the 49ers and their situations. Both would require big contracts to play for the Steelers, which is likely not feasible for the Black and Gold at this particular time.

Samuel and Aiyuk both combined for 14 touchdowns and over 2,000 yards for the 49ers last season. Production like that added onto the Steelers offense is just what they could be looking for, however it isn't worth a first rounder according to the Steelers brass.

Steelers Solidify Offensive Line While Receiver Position Awaits

The Steelers were able to land two studs for their offensive line in the draft, which was their top priority. The offensive line has been broken for at least three seasons now, but this new line in 2024 might change that. Pittsburgh finally has reliable guys at each of the five spots up front, which could unleash the Steelers' offense. 

The Steelers have been missing a solid center since the retirement of Maurkice Pouncey, but Frazier could be the future at center for Pittsburgh. Frazier was arguably the best center in this year's draft, yet he somehow fell into the Steelers' lap at the 51st pick.

The Steelers still have a chance to pull off a trade for someone, whether it be a player on the 49ers or not. Regardless, they will be addressing the situation very soon.
