Patriots Predicted to Cut Ties With Kendrick Bourne

The New England Patriots are facing a difficult challenge of finding enough roster spots for their crowded wide receiver group. According to Bleacher Report’s Alex Kay, veteran wide receiver Kendrick Bourne is one player at risk of being cut.

"With Bourne soon turning 30 and due to make $5.5 million in base salary, New England can part ways with the aging veteran in exchange for $6.3 million in cap relief and a paltry $1.4 million dead cap hit," Kay said.

The Patriots have nine receivers competing for limited roster spots, with Bourne sitting among the most vulnerable.
