Cardinals GM Monti Ossenfort went after Bourne pretty hard during the free agency period. The team wanted to elevate the slot receiver position... Ossenfort decided a known talent needed to be brought in and inked Bourne to a two-year, $10 million contract worth up to $12 million.

Bourne expected to anchor slot role; Ossenfort signed him to live out contract.

Bourne is penciled in as the Cardinals' slot receiver and is expected to live out his two-year, $10 million contract (up to $12 million with incentives). GM Monti Ossenfort went after him hard during free agency to elevate the slot position after previous struggles with Xavier Weaver, Zay Jones, and Greg Dortch. Bourne has played nine years with twice over 70 targets in a season, possesses reliable hands, strong route-running burst, and versatility to play inside or outside. He is a physical receiver who will fight for contested balls, though not a burner. Ossenfort is counting on him to become the third chess piece in the receiver room.
