Patriots coach Jerod Mayo said he contacted receiver Kendrick Bourne on Tuesday, as reports of a potential trade involving the Patriots and San Francisco’s Brandon Aiyuk continue to surface.
“Honestly, I did talk to him this morning, and it was a good conversation,” Mayo said.” Once again, I feel like the story is so much further along than anything else. I just wanted to make sure we cleared the air. I do believe in being transparent with the players and really just setting those guys at ease.”
According to NBC Sports Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco, the Patriots have a trade framework in place with the 49ers that would allow them to acquire Aiyuk if he accepts their offer.
