NFL Insider Adds Context To Rumored Patriots 49ers Trade Talks

The New England Patriots may soon call the San Francisco 49ers regarding their star player and give them a nice trade offer.

Brandon Aiyuk attracted the Patriots attention, but they won’t be the only team making a bid. NBC Sports Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco reported that the Cleveland Browns are also working on a trade offer for the 49ers. These rumors can easily turn into a real deal.

If the Patriots want Aiyuk, they will have to give up on some draft picks and veteran wide receiver Kendrick Bourne. The team will have to sacrifice at least a few draft picks to get Aiyuk.

Aiyuk performs well on the football field and he still can get a contract extension. He has to make some calculations and make the right decision for his NFL future.

Patriots face competition in the 49ers trade

NFL insider Josina Anderson provided details on the offer New England is set to make. It seems like the Patriots have been working on this deal for a few months. Mike Reiss from ESPN reported that the whole thing is nothing but a “slow process.”

The Patriots have all the time in the world to attract players who can actually perform within their gameplan. Eliot Wolf and Co. have enough time to wait for the perfect update. Aiyuk has to make a decision and be the first to make a move. The Patriots won’t sacrifice a big chunk of their picks and a veteran WR to get a hesitant player.

According to another update, the Pittsburgh Steelers are no longer interested in getting Aiyuk, meaning the Patriots won’t face a serious competition in the process.

Aiyuk has enough talent to make an impact on any NFL team he plans to join. Let’s see what happens next in New England. Will the Patriots sign a new player in the next few weeks?
