Kendrick Bourne Returns to 49ers on a One-Year Deal Worth up to $5M Amid Injury Woes
The 49ers signed Kendrick Bourne to strengthen their receiving corps after injuries to key players, offering a one-year contract worth up to $5 million, his agent confirmed.
- On Monday September 8, 2025, NFL insider Adam Schefter reported the San Francisco 49ers are signing veteran wide receiver Kendrick Bourne to a one-year contract worth up to $5 million.
- After Week 1 injuries to key pass-catchers, San Francisco suffered exits for tight end George Kittle and wide receiver Jauan Jennings, with the receiving group thin due to Brandon Aiyuk rehabbing an ACL, Demarcus Robinson suspended, and Jordan Watkins sidelined.
- After being released by New England Patriots on Aug. 27, Kendrick Bourne returns to the team where he began in 2017 as an undrafted free agent, boasting career totals of 292 receptions, 3,714 yards, and 22 touchdowns.
- Bourne's arrival immediately bolsters the 49ers receiving corps as he recovered from a foot sprain and can fill a similar role to Jennings, whose absence may impact $3 million in incentives.
- To make the move official, the San Francisco 49ers must clear a roster spot after signing Kendrick Bourne following his Santa Clara workout last week; they face the New Orleans Saints in Week 2.
