Oh, one other tiny thought - feels like you hear Scotty Miller's name a lot more often than Quez Watkins so mild surprise to me that Watkins is ahead in the pecking order.

I wouldn't count on it.
Speculation was they wanted Fields for months, and they got him for next to nothing.
Unless Khan feels he's extracting really good value the answer is NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My point exactly.

Not putting a whole lot of stock into preseason depth charts as I don't even think Tomlin or the coaching staff worry about that stuff - probably some social media intern honestly.
Remember this story from 2022 lol

Mike Tomlin labels the Steelers depth chart snafu as a "clerical error"
The Pittsburgh Steelers are preparing for the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1 of the regular season, and Mike Tomlin answered plenty of question leading up to the season opener.

In basketball you take the money then demand a trade. In football you can be miserable look at Adams in Vegas ask Terry in DC how he felt about his Qb play last season
Yeah I don’t think there should be much reading into the initial depth chart. Like Fautanu has played exclusively RT in camp but is listed as LT on this. It’ll change.
I actually have no problem paying Aiyuk…I have a problem paying him AND paying the 9ers our currently cheap #1 WR or #1 TE or any first round pick for him…the Steelers offer, if that’s what was reported, is fine…let the 9ers get stuck with Aiyuk if he doesn’t want to go to NE or Cleveland lol

How the hell are you a lawyer if you're gullible enough to be to believe Khan would even consider paying that price?
Come on man, you need to be better than that.

No one is paying that price.,They are willing to take a 2nd from Cleveland they would take a 2nd from us
I know the depth chart is fluid at this point but at the same time, we've seen some big blockages on rookies fairly recently where people thought the depth chart would be fluid but soon discovered it would not.
Wellp I guessed wrong!
And it is a lot to pay for him along with the money, but if we think he's worth that money then that's the trade ask that goes with it. I don't really want to pay it either but if he was our player, I'd be screaming for Khan to go get that ask.
It feels like, judging from some journos' reports, that the compromise would be multiple day 2 picks instead.

Because Cooper is actually a very good WR and we have nothing of that ilk to offer. You ADD a 2hd rounder and that's a very good offer from the browns.

Except the browns know trading Cooper destroys their cap and some reports say they have pulled out

New England is looking better and better. They'll toss him so much money it'll disgust almost everyone.

Having Aiyuk around the place being super emotional about things seems to be wearing on Shanahan
There's memories of Samuel turning up out of shape and out of sorts after his trade request
Conversely, Samuel has taken all the uncertainty in stride this time round and is in shape and being a leader
Think they might lower their trade requests now if Aiyuk decides he doesn't like NE or Cleveland. If they're that hacked off by Aiyuk, I don't see keeping him being worth the difference between whatever their offer is and whatever the Steelers' offer is.

You guys being mislead as to this Aiyuk deal is very sad to me. Wise up sunshine!
A 1st, CA3 and one of Moore or Daniels gets it done. We're not giving up a 1st however.
They want a 1st, we don't want to offer a 1st. Pretty simple.Article on why SF is budging from a local reporter

Yeah I read this about Samuel as well, and it's something that will likely be impacting Aiyuk on the Steelers if they were to acquire him. Even with him being a big upgrade, I think his holdout is going to prevent Aiyuk from being truly as good as he is this year.
It's all just a question of when the 49ers bite. The Steelers are probably offering what they're willing to pay (probably something like Daniels, Austin and a 2nd) and it's just about SF either finding a team that Aiyuk will sign with or just taking what the Steelers are willing to pay.

As I mentioned above and now you mentioned it yourself, CA3 + Daniels and a 2hd the Steelers will part with, but the 49ers want a 1st instead of a 2hd.
