Is there a chance Brandon Aiyuk ends up with the Patriots after all?
New England appeared to be in hot pursuit of Aiyuk when the wide receiver asked for a trade out of San Francisco. The Patriots and the 49ers reportedly even discussed the parameters of a potential blockbuster trade, but Eliot Wolf and company eventually backed out after Aiyuk seemingly showed no interest in taking his talents to Foxboro, Mass.
Nonetheless, ESPN's Bill Barnwell identified New England as a potential landing spot for the 2020 first-round pick when he analyzed players who potentially could be traded in the near future.
