The Patriots are re-signing wide receiver Kendrick Bourne to a 3-year, $19.5 million deal, according to a source.

The contract carries a maximum value of $33 million and includes a $4.2 million signing bonus, per source.

Bourne had been set to hit free agency Monday at noon. The 28-year-old returns after tearing his ACL last October, though he is expected to be ready for the start of next season, per source.

Bourne was the Patriots’ leading receiver at the time of his injury, which interrupted what was on pace to be a career season. He finished with 37 catches for 406 yards and four touchdowns. Bourne returns after the team re-signed tight end Hunter Henry earlier this week to a 3-year deal.
