Kendrick Bourne reportedly agrees to 3-year deal to stay with New England Patriots
FOXBORO - Kendrick Bourne is staying with the New England Patriots, his agent told ESPN late Sunday night.
The wide receiver has agreed to a three-year deal that could be worth up to $33 million, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Bourne reacted to news of the deal on social media.
Bourne, 28, played in only eight games last season before he tore his right ACL. He was on pace for a career year with 37 catches for 406 yards and four touchdowns.
During Sunday night's Sports Final on WBZ, ESPN Boston's Mike Reiss said that agreeing with Bourne is a "culture signing" for New England.
"Kendrick coming off a torn ACL so you have to see how he does, but great energy, great presence in the locker room," said Reiss. "You want guys like that around when you're trying to rebuild the culture."
