Patriots Offer Contract to Kendrick Bourne Amid Free Agency Speculation

The wide receiver's future with New England hangs in the balance as division rivals show interest.

The New England Patriots have offered wide receiver Kendrick Bourne a new contract ahead of free agency, aiming to retain him for the 2024 season.
Bourne, who had a promising start in the 2023 season before a knee injury, is considered a key player for the Patriots.
If Bourne does not re-sign with the Patriots, division rivals such as the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets are expected to pursue him.
The Bills are particularly interested in Bourne as they look to bolster their receiving corps, with potential losses in free agency.
Bourne has expressed interest in returning to the Patriots, highlighting unfinished business and a strong relationship with quarterback Mac Jones.
