Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne is not available to be traded, according to Jeff Howe of The Athletic.
“The Patriots have gotten calls about WR Kendrick Bourne, but they’ve told teams he’s not available, per sources,” Howe tweeted Tuesday morning.
The report comes hours before the NFL deadline to trim rosters to 53. The Patriots have until 4 p.m. on Tuesday to finalize their initial 53-man roster.
After a promising 2021 season, during which he caught 55 passes for 800 yards and five touchdowns, Bourne took a step backwards in 2022.
