The San Francisco 49ers have signed wide receiver Kendrick Bourne to a one-year deal with a max value of $5 million, according to his agent. The move comes as a contingency plan following the injury of starting wide receiver Kevin Jennings.
Bourne, who previously played for the 49ers from 2018 to 2, has now returned to the team after a brief departure. His experience in the league and his proven track record in the passing game make him a valuable asset to the 49ers’ receiving corps.
This acquisition is part of the 49ers’ strategy to bolster their wide receiver options ahead of the season. The team is optimistic that Bourne’s return will help stabilize their offense and provide depth in case of further injuries.
The injury to Kevin Jennings has created a pressing need for the 49ers to address their wide receiver position. With Bourne’s return, the team is well-positioned to maintain their offensive capabilities as they prepare for the upcoming season.
