Brandon Aiyuk has been involved in trade rumors for a while now. They only heated up after the 49ers lost the Super Bowl to the Chiefs again in 2024. Also, the 49ers star requested a trade earlier this off-season. While many teams have been linked to the receiver, Amanda Vance recently helped fuel the Steelers rumors.
Aiyuk’s trade rumors heated up to the max after he was spotted in an embrace with head coach Kyle Shanahan, prompting NFL fans to come up with their ideas about why it happened. The most popular theory was that Aiyuk’s trade request was nearly fulfilled.
Fans may be wondering how Vance fits into all of this. A known Steelers fan took her to X to post her Instagram DM, which she sent to the Pro Bowler. The message was sent as a voice note, and NFL fans are begging her to unsend it.
In the clip she posted to her X page, Vance can be heard begging the current 49ers star to “please don’t do it,” asking him not to return to San Francisco. She made it a point to call TJ Watt the best player in the league and mention something about the terrible towels.
Of course, NFL fans will have something to say about the rumors surrounding one of the league’s star receivers, and it’s no different now. One fan joked in the comments, saying there was still time to unsend the message.
Another fan called Vance’s move corny, asking who put the post on their timeline, while X user Vito joked that Aiyuk is going back to San Francisco because of the post.
After all is said and done, the odds are that one fan can do nothing to get the disgruntled receiver to join their favorite team. But if there is a fan who can maybe get through to Aiyuk, it sure could be Amanda Vance.
