Not that long ago, the New England Patriots were a dynasty and the top organization in the NFL. It just seems like that was a long time ago.
There's another chapter in the ongoing Brandon Aiyuk trade drama. There was a report that the San Francisco 49ers and Patriots had agreed to a framework of a trade, then suddenly another report said the Patriots were taking themselves out of the Aiyuk trade discussion. Yet another report helped explain the situation.
According to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area, who broke the news of the 49ers having trade framework in place with the Patriots and New England Patriots but were waiting on Aiyuk to accept contract terms from either team, said that Aiyuk "did not show interest in going" to New England.
