“Omar [Khan] has really played this well, he’s been patient,” Fittipaldo voiced. “If [the trade] happens I think he deserves a lot of kudos, but obviously it’s been a tenuous situation for four months now.”

The veteran media member also expressed that he still thinks “there’s a decent chance that [Aiyuk] lands in Pittsburgh.”

“The Steelers are the only team left standing,” he noted. Adding: “We’ve heard for a week now that the 49ers and Aiyuk were close. If it was close — in my mind — it would have been done by now.”

A potential deadline for an Aiyuk trade could be Friday, August 23, being that the 49ers and Steelers each play out their final preseason games on Friday and Saturday, respectively.
