They&#8217;re notorious for sticking to their guns while garnering too high of an asking price on the trade market and holding the player hostage.\u00a0 That&#8217;s ultimately seen them allow said player to hit free agency while getting nothing, save for a compensatory pick, in return.<\/p>\n<div class=\"m-0 p-0 pb-0\" style=\"background-color: #313131;

color: white;\">(PHOTO: Brian Fluharty-USA TODAY Sports)<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Will he stay away from training camp?\u00a0 That&#8217;s clearly the next question.\u00a0 Samuel staged a &#8220;hold-in&#8221; during his own negotiations, which is potentially what might happen with Aiyuk, who skipped minicamp and reportedly accrued $101,000 in fines due to his absence.\u00a0 He would be subject to fines of $50,000 per missed practice in training camp.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Very clearly, Brandon Aiyuk is not thrilled with the way things are going and did one of the couple of things that he can do,&#8221; said Rapoport.\u00a0 &#8220;Next question, of course, would be, does he stay away from training camp? How upset is he? We will find out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Either way, the 49ers clearly seem to have a playbook in place as they deal with yet another disgruntled player.\u00a0 Their success on the field has done a reasonably good job of quelling these discussions, with each guy either getting extended or, at the very least, playing out the final year of their respective deals.<\/p>\n<p>Whether or not that holds true in this case remains to be seen.\u00a0 But if Aiyuk has any hope of getting what he wants, it would be surprising if it happened before the end of this upcoming season.<\/p>\n<p>That means the chances of him ending up in New England in 2024 also feel slim, with next spring being the earliest possibility &#8211; and that&#8217;s provided he&#8217;s not hit with the franchise tag &#8211; of seeing him become a Patriot.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Patriots Announce Personnel Department Additions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Patriots announced five new additions to their personnel department on Tuesday, along with four in-house promotions.<\/p>\n<p>According to the team, Alonzo Highsmith &#8211; a long-time key colleague of Executive Vice President of Player Personnel Eliot Wolf &#8211; was officially hired as a senior personnel executive.\u00a0 Highsmith and Wolf previously worked together both in Green Bay and Cleveland, with the two experiencing a fair amount of success together over that span.\u00a0 The fact they were reunited here was no surprise, and Highsmith&#8217;s addition quietly remains one of the more underrated moves of this offseason.<\/p>\n<p>The team also hired Casey Belongia as an area scout, while Bob Kronenberg was added as a pro scout.\u00a0 Both A.J. Richardson and Landon Simpson were also named scouting assistants.<\/p>\n<p>The club also promoted four staff members, with Patrick Stewart being named director of pro personnel, while Sam Fioroni has been promoted to assistant director of pro personnel.\u00a0 The team also promoted Marshall Oium to director of football strategy, while Marquis Dickerson was promoted as a pro scout.<\/p>\n<p>The moves now bring the personnel department to 27 staff members, up from 22 in 2022 and 25 in 2023.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Odds and Ends<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Patriots have seemingly made an addition to their international staff, with Lara Magalhaes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C9f6ZnZJNRO\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>announcing on her Instagram account<\/strong> <\/a>that she&#8217;ll be managing the expansion efforts of the team in Brazil.\u00a0 &#8220;The opportunity to lead the Brazilian soil expansion of one of the most successful teams in the NFL, showcase my expertise and management skills in a highly competitive environment will never be something simple,&#8221; she wrote on Instagram (as translated).\u00a0 &#8220;Through my presence as manager of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\" title=\"New England Patriots at PatsFans.com\"><strong>New England Patriots<\/strong><\/a> in Brazil I have as one of main goals to inspire other women to pursue careers in the sport and show that there is no limit to what they can achieve. I aspire to be an example of female leadership and empowerment, contributing to diversity and inclusion in the world of sports.&#8221; &#8230; The recent buzz about Davante Adams potentially ending up in New York with the Jets has got people talking, but his agents spoke out against the rumors this week.\u00a0 Agents Kenny Chapman and Frank Bauer said, &#8220;This is baseless, unfounded speculation and Davante is expected to be with the Raiders as there has been absolutely no trade talk &#8212; period,&#8221; they said via ESPN, likely quieting any further discussion. &#8230; It&#8217;s been a minute since the name Frank Bauer has popped up in these parts.\u00a0 Anyone who recalls the contentious negotiations with Logan Mankins likely remembers Bauer&#8217;s name, who was far and away <a

during the negotiations that took place during that 2011 offseason.\u00a0 That came after the team placed the franchise tag on Mankins, which at the time was worth an impressive $10.1 million, which
