Falcons Named in Trade Idea for Patriots' Veteran WR

The Atlanta Falcons could be making an intriguing move by trading for New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne.

According to Heavy’s Daniel Arwas, the Falcons could use a shifty slot receiver, while also taking some of the burden off New England's crowded receiver room. Bourne is entering his ninth NFL season and fits the profile of a potential trade piece, as well as a possible cut candidate.

"The player that makes the most sense for a trade at this point is Kendrick Bourne, whose combination of previous production and experience, yet lower future upside over the next few years, makes him about the best candidate to be moved," Arwas said.
