These guys won't stop touching.

And you can pretty much do it in perpetuity.

Yep.

As you said, Shefter reported that the Patriots have bowed out. I'm told after talking about multiple sources that Brin and I, you did not want to play for this, did not want to play for the Patriots, and he doesn't want to play for the Browns. And that's interesting because both of those teams made significant offers to get him. And when you look at the Browns, they also were in a similar situation with Deshaun Watson.

You know, you have to, you know, they paid a lot of money to get him to Berea.

If something happens like that, maybe he ends up in Cleveland.

But as of right now, keep an eye on the Steelers.

Kimberly Martin this morning on ESPN.

Yet another report, yet another insider saying Brandon Ayuk did not want to come to the New England Patriots.

And that's where we begin today, where we've been the last couple days discussing the trade rumors of Brandon Ayuk and now how apparently the patriots are out.

They last night, I say they, it feels like they, through the reporting, took themselves out of

the running. But did they really quit or were they fired? Do you know what I mean? Were they

rejected or did they step away first? I think we all know the real answer that they were

rejected and they stepped away before

it got more embarrassing for them.

But it's embarrassing enough as it is.

So Kimberly Martin, among others, saying Brandon and I, you did not want to play for the New England Patriots.

Maz Murray, alongside from our town for Atari Studios here in Waltham, your thoughts.

Good, you?

Hi, Mike. Hi. So can I just say that I do believe that they removed themselves from the pursuit because they recognized they were being used. That to me is like if you ask me how I think that all evolved, I think they looked at it and said, this guy's not coming here. He's not coming here. We've given him all the chances. We're sitting here. We've got the best offer. He's not coming, so we're out. Like, we're not going to be embarrassed anymore. Because that's what it was. It was embarrassing. The thing was embarrassing. And what I found as interesting as anything about that comment from Kimberly Martin this morning on Get Up was not just the fact that she says he doesn't want to go to the Patriots.
