CINCINNATI — Is Brandon Aiyuk AFC North bound? The Patriots have pulled out of trade talks according to Adam Schefter, which means the 26-year-old could end up in Cleveland or Pittsburgh.

Both the Browns and Steelers are interested in Aiyuk according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

He is entering his fifth NFL season and wants a new contract. He had 75 catches for 1,342 yards and seven touchdowns in 2023.

With New England bowing out of the Aiyuk sweepstakes, there's a real chance the Bengals face him in the division this season.

Schefter reported that the Steelers "re-engaged" the 49ers in trade talks on Tuesday afternoon.
