The Patriots are reportedly out of the Brandon Aiyuk sweepstakes.
Just a day after it was reported that both the Patriots and Browns had agreed to the “framework” of trades with the 49ers for the star wideout, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported late Tuesday night that “the Patriots have decided not to explore any further trade possibilities with the 49ers” regarding the 26-year-old pass-catcher.
Considering that the Patriots had reportedly agreed to a potential trade package with San Francisco, any potential snag in trade talks likely involved Aiyuk’s camp, be it his sizable new contract or a desire to play elsewhere.
