PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers may be on the verge of something big. As Brandon Aiyuk trade rumors heat up, one NFL insider is dropping a hint that there may be a move in the making coming soon.

The Steelers are reportedly still looking for a wide receiver trade and have explored the market for Aiyuk throughout the offseason. The 26-year-old has recently unfollowed the San Francisco 49ers on Instagram, sparking even more rumors of his departure. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh continues to shop - making many put two and two together.

Aiyuk has 3,931 receiving yards and 25 touchdowns in four years, including back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons.

The Steelers' receiving core included George Pickens, Calvin Austin, Van Jefferson and Quez Watkins. They've scouted plenty of names in the NFL Draft, but the probability they add a veteran beforehand still seems high. And with this tweet, it may be time to start paying close attention to the news.
