Coach Jerod Mayo had an honest response when asked about San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk snubbing the New England Patriots in a trade.
The Patriots had been heavily linked to Aiyuk in rumors throughout the offseason. The organization reportedly wanted to stick with their younger wide receivers, a group that has been getting praised by fellow teammates throughout training camp.
The Patriots are looking to rebuild after a 4-13 season in 2023. Mayo met with the media on Sunday, and he acknowledged the organization needed to take care of business on the field.
