Lynch firmly dismisses any trade talks between the 49ers and Steelers, stating on the Pat McAfee Show that San Francisco is no longer considering any deals with Pittsburgh.
Lynch emphasized his commitment to retaining key players on the roster, stating, “I’m doing everything in my power to keep our roster together.” He highlighted the pride the 49ers have in their homegrown talents like Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel, acknowledging that while discussions occur during drafts and offseasons, the team is no longer considering any significant roster changes. “We’re past that now,” Lynch concluded, expressing excitement about building on their existing core.
Pittsburgh may have considered trading for Brandon Aiyuk or Deebo Samuel to bolster their receiving corps. Though the Steelers selected Roman Wilson in the third round of the NFL Draft, general manager Omar Khan indicated that the team could still be open to making another move. Despite rumors circulating about a potential trade with the 49ers, Khan clarified that there were no active negotiations.
While Pittsburgh could use additional depth at wide receiver, they seem more likely to explore the free-agent market. Available players like Zay Jones and D.J. Chark could be potential targets for the Steelers as they look to strengthen their roster.
