Brandon Aiyuk Sends Cryptic Tweet to Steelers' Mike Tomlin

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver draws speculation

Continuing speculation about his future with the team

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has sent a cryptic tweet to Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, sparking speculation about his future with the team.

According to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team, Aiyuk tagged Tomlin in a tweet on Tuesday, writing simply, "He knows." The tweet has since been deleted, but not before it was screenshotted and shared widely on social media.

NFL fan sleuths are frantically trying to decipher the meaning of Aiyuk's cryptic tweet. Some speculate that it could be a sign that he is requesting a trade to the Steelers, while others believe that it is simply a playful joke between two friends.

The Steelers do not appear to be among the teams with the most to gain from a trade for Aiyuk. The team already has a solid wide receiver corps led by Diontae Johnson, Chase Claypool, and rookie George Pickens.

However, Aiyuk is a talented player who could provide the Steelers with another weapon on offense. He has 10 touchdowns in 31 career games.

It remains to be seen whether Aiyuk's tweet is a sign of things to come or simply a harmless joke. However, it is clear that the wide receiver is not afraid to ruffle some feathers.
