Patriots Reportedly Have ‘Notable Gap’ In Contract Talks With Kendrick Bourne

The New England Patriots reportedly got a deal done with Hunter Henry on Friday before the veteran tight end hit free agency.

But their chances of doing the same and coming to a contract agreement with Kendrick Bourne before the 28-year-old wide receiver officially hits free agency Wednesday seemed to take a hit.

CBS Sports’ Josina Anderson reported Sunday that there’s still plenty of ground for the Patriots and Bourne to make up on the contract front.

“The Patriots and WR Kendrick Bourne are still working to find middle ground on compensation on a deal, as there’s still a notable gap, per sources,” Anderson wrote on the X platform.
