"Kendrick Bourne visited the Commanders last week. He worked out for the coaches and probably discussed terms on a potential deal. The wideout, who was released by the New England Patriots after no willing trade partner could be found, also had a meeting with the San Francisco 49ers, which comes with a strong emotional attachment. The Niners took a chance on Bourne as an undrafted free agent."
"According to Adam Schefter from ESPN, Bourne is signing a one-year deal with the Niners that could be worth up to $5 million with incentives. That's a lot of money for someone who'd be no better than fourth or fifth option on Washington's depth chart, and few would begrudge him the chance to galvanize his career at the place where he rose from obscurity to become a decent performer."
Adam Peters sought to add a veteran wide receiver after carrying only five pass-catchers on the 53-man roster. Kendrick Bourne visited the Commanders, worked out for coaches, and likely negotiated terms, but also met with the San Francisco 49ers. Bourne chose to return to San Francisco, citing emotional ties and the promise of more playing time. The one-year deal could be worth up to $5 million with incentives. Bourne would likely have been a fourth- or fifth-option in Washington's depth chart. Peters will pursue other options but may accept his current roster that includes Terry McLaurin, Deebo Samuel Sr., Noah Brown, Jaylin Lane, and Luke McCaffrey. Bourne receives an immediate chance to carve out a key role.
