Kendrick Bourne wants to remain in New England as he’s set to hit free agency.
The Patriots receiver told ESPN’s Mike Reiss that it’s a “goal” of his stay with the team this offseason.
“I love being a Patriot — it’s a great environment for a person like me,” Bourne told Reiss. “Being a Patriot helped me grow into the player I am today. I’m thankful for the organization, but you never know. I’ve been in free agency before and I didn’t know what would happen. And I don’t know now.”
Bourne was one of several players the Patriots signed when they went on a record-setting spending spree during the 2021 offseason, giving him a three-year, $15 million deal at the time.
