According to Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald, the Patriots are keen on retaining wide receiver Kendrick Bourne for the 2024 season.

The Patriots reportedly extended a contract offer to Bourne before the start of last week’s Scouting Combine. However, the specific terms of the offer remain undisclosed.

As impending free agency approaches, Bourne may delay making decisions about his future until he assesses the interest from other teams and compares it to what the Patriots have proposed.

Bourne’s season took a turn when he suffered a torn ACL in late October, despite his promising performance of 37 catches for 405 yards and four touchdowns in the first eight games. While this start indicated his most productive NFL season yet, the extent to which the injury will affect his market remains uncertain.
