The New England Patriots were reportedly in the sweepstakes to acquire wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins. However, New England may have had to give up a fan favorite in order to get the wide receiver.
A new report indicates the Patriots might have moved on from wide receiver Kendrick Bourne in order to make room for Hopkins, via the Boston Herald’s Doug Kyed.
Bourne played sparingly in the 2022 season. He tallied 35 receptions for 434 yards and a touchdown. He started to be a bit more involved in the offense later in the season, but the Patriots were out of the playoff picture by then.
