"Bleav in Steelers" host Mark Bergin explained what Brandon Aiyuk's contract extension with the San Francisco 49ers means for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Aiyuk's deal makes him the fifth-highest-paid wide receiver in the NFL.

Bergin explained how reports that the Steelers tried to trade a third-round pick to the Denver Broncos. The 49ers would have acquired Courtland Sutton and the Steelers would have landed Aiyuk. The reports indicate the Broncos declined the offer.

The Steelers are due to spend $6.68 million on their wide receivers in the 2024 season.

Now that Aiyuk is staying with the 49ers, Bergin shared how a contract extension could be coming to Cameron Heyward or Pat Freiermuth. Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren are also entering contract seasons.

Bergin also mentioned two wide receivers he likes in the 2025 rookie class: Travis Hunter and Luther Burden III.
