The New England Patriots made sure Kendrick Bourne didn’t get to pursue other options in free agency.
Bourne’s agent Henry Organ told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Sunday night that the 28-year-old wide receiver and the Patriots agreed on a new three-year contract that will pay Bourne up to $33 million. According to the Boston Herald’s Andrew Callahan, Bourne’s deal is initially worth $19.5 million and includes a $4.2 million signing bonus plus other incentives.
The Patriots practically confirmed the signing by posting a gif of Bourne to social media after the news broke.
