Rumored Bills free agent target Kendrick Bourne re-signs with Patriots

Rumored #Bills free agent target Kendrick Bourne re-signs with #Patriots:

Kendrick Bourne to the Buffalo Bills is no more.

Bourne was a rumored to be a potential target for the Bills this week as free agency opens in the NFL. However, Bourne has decided to stay put.

According to Patriots Wire, Bourne inked a three-year, $19.5 million deal in New England.

Bourne is coming off of an ACL injury. He recently said to NFL Network he’s expecting to be ready by the 2024 season opener. Bourne also expressed a desire to return to New England in that same interview so it’s not shocking to see him back with the Pats.

Prior to injury, the 28-year-old caught 37 passes for 406 yards and four touchdowns in eight games last season. His best season came in 2021 in New England, where Bourne had 55 catches for 800 yards with five touchdowns.

Before playing in New England, Bourne spent the first four years of his NFL career with the San Francisco 49ers. The Niners signed him as an undrafted rookie following the 2017 NFL draft.
