The more things change, the more they stay the same. The rumors surrounding WR Brandon Aiyuk have been going on for far longer than most do in the NFL. Generally, if rumors become detailed and widespread, something happens quickly or they are all squashed.
A week ago, vague rumors started to swirl about an Aiyuk trade being discussed. While not everyone thought it was realistic for the Cleveland Browns to be involved, we soon learned that the Browns had a framework of a trade in place with the San Francisco 49ers.
