We did an independent fact check of the above tweet. Brandon Aiyuk is in fact, NOT going to Pittsburgh in a trade between the Steelers and the San Francisco 49ers.
Aiyuk instead agreed to a four-year deal worth up to $120 million to stay in San Francisco. The 49ers, and their All-Pro wide receiver aren’t scheduled to go to Pittsburgh any time soon. The Steelers and 49ers aren’t scheduled to play again until 2027. That game will take place at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.
With the Photoshop and everything. Tough.
Ah, well. Nevertheless.
