Patriots free agency analysis: Kendrick Bourne fits what New England wants from its wide receivers

The New England Patriots entered free agency week with a clear goal in mind: upgrading a passing game that struggled mightily during the 2020 season. Their moves over the first few days were a clear reflection of that; New England added considerable talent at both the tight end and the wide receiver positions.

Among the players brought in to bolster the receiver group is Kendrick Bourne, who entered the open market coming off the most productive season of his career. Now, the Patriots will hope that he can build on this momentum to help get a wide receiver corps back on track that had its issues each of the last three seasons.
