This Brandon Aiyuk thing is strange, but nothing like Antonio Brown watch
The offseason had something to look forward to every morning and that was one Antonio Brown
I’m going to go off on a limb and say the market for Brandon Aiyuk slowly drying up. It’s not gone, but the options are certainly limiting themselves. The entire trade thing is strange, however. Instagram posts, cryptic answers to questions, follows unfollows. The 49ers are the center of it all.

Kinda reminiscent of another time. A “watch” if you will. Instead of the Steelers inquiring about Aiyuk and Aiyuk posting some cryptic responses, it was the Steelers who had their own trade issues. A hopeful 49ers wide receiver. His name: Antonio Brown.
See, there were two wide receivers the 49ers were connected to (and not counting Emmanuel Sanders who the 49ers were reported to be interested in around this time). One of them was Odell Beckham Jr., but logic said that wasn’t going to happen. Well, at the time. The other was Antonio Brown, who, after receiving a harmless tweet from George Kittle, ignited what became Antonio Brown Watch. This was an event unlike anything else. Even Michael Jackson didn’t get this much publicity.
The whole thing stemmed from some issues with Brown and the Pittsburgh Steelers. What followed was…well…something else. He wound up holding a 10-question AMA (which he only answered six questions of), demanded we all call him Mr. Big Chest, and the source of admiration for Jerry Rice.
