According to Jeremy Fowler, a wide receiver from the New England Pats has received interest.
Fowler said the Pats have been inclined to keep him, but that the veteran pass-catcher would like a change in uniform due to declining opportunities.
He finished with 55 catches for 800 yards and five touchdown. Fowler mentioned in his report that the usage of the 27 year old has fallen off.
Bourne has caught 11 passes for 156 yards. He had no targets in the last two games.
He only played four offensive snaps in the win over Cleveland due to a toe injury.
You can't blame him for wanting a change of scenery since he feels like he's fallen out of favor.
The arrival of Thornton means he could fall further down the list. Thornton had four catches for 37 yards and a touchdown in the game. He ran for 16 yards and scored a touchdown.

A healthy Bourne is an attractive trade candidate. He has a modest salary cap hit for the next two years, but he is a good secondary option.
There's no reason not to look at what you can get in return for a player who may not be appreciated by the staff.
The status of his toe is one of the factors that will affect his trade value. The injury doesn't seem that serious, according to the Boston Herald.
If he misses the trade deadline, he might be inclined to wait until closer to it. One assumes that the injury is bad enough to scuttle negotiations.
