After months of stalled talks, the Patriots have offered impending free-agent wide receiver Kendrick Bourne a contract, per source.
Sources: Patriots offer free-agent WR Kendrick Bourne contract, AFC East suitors may loomAccording to one source familiar with the wide receiver market, if the Pats do not re-sign Bourne, history indicates they might lose him to a division foe.
The Jets were among the teams that showed interest in Bourne over the last 18 months, when a Patriots source said their front office received trade calls at the end of training camp in 2022 and 2023. The Pats told those teams, including the Raiders and Rams, that Bourne was not available and kept him through his ACL tear late last October.
