's agent has weighed in—sort of—on the trade situation. Ryan Williams, who was seen in the background of an NFL Network segment at Las Vegas Raiders training camp, declined to speak on camera. However, according to Mike Garafolo, Williams confirmed that no deal is currently in place between the San Francisco 49ers and Pittsburgh Steelers for the disgruntled wide receiver.
"He did say to me, I think, he did say to me, 'Nothing is done,'" Garafolo reported. "He also said, 'Stop paying attention to everything you read on X.'"
Williams' comments likely refer to a report by Andrew Fillipponi of 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh, which

The Steelers, initially reported as out of contention for Aiyuk, re-entered discussions with the 49ers on Tuesday.
It may have seemed like an eternity for the San Francisco 49ers and star WR Brandon Aiyuk to agree on a new contract, but it didn't take as long as it did a year ago with edge rusher Nick Bosa. It may have felt like it took longer because Bosa, much like LT Trent Williams this...

The San Francisco 49ers were on the verge of finalizing a trade that would have sent wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk to the Pittsburgh Steelers. While many fans may already know this, what's less known is just how close the deal came to completion.
