Financial terms reveal an effective package worth a base of $19.5 million, a signing bonus of $4.2 million, and a potential maximum earning of $33 million.
Bourne experienced a significant setback midway through the previous season, having torn his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in Week 8.
Despite this, the 28-year-old player is resolute about making a strong comeback. He aims to wrap up rehab and hit the training camp ahead of the upcoming season.
Before his season-halting injury, Bourne had accumulated 37 receptions for 406 yards with a tally of four touchdowns.
Signing a three-year contract with the Patriots in 2021 added a milestone to Bourne’s illustrious NFL career.
The spotlight fell on him with career stats of 264 receptions, a sweeping 3,409 yards, and 21 touchdowns during his tenure with both the 49ers and Patriots.
Imprinted as 95th on PFT’s Top 100 Free Agents, Bourne’s tenacity in the field is indisputable.
