The San Francisco 49ers have tendered a one-year contract to wide receiver Kendrick Bourne, a restricted free agent, at a second-round level, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic. That level of a tender is reportedly worth nearly $3.3 million.
Bourne is free to negotiate with other teams with the 49ers having the right to match any competing offer. Should it fail to do so, San Francisco will receive a second-round pick for the receiver.
This news comes after the report that San Francisco
offered the same level tender to running back Matt Breida. The team also opted not to tender linebacker Elijah Lee.
Bourne, 24, is entering his fourth NFL season.
The 49ers signed Bourne as an undrafted free agent out of Eastern Washington in 2017. He registered 30 receptions for 358 yards with five touchdowns through 16 games in 2019. His best statistical season came in 2018 when he led the team's wide receivers with 42 catches for 487 yards with four touchdowns.
Bourne has 88 catches for 1,102 yards with nine touchdowns through his three NFL seasons.

7-round mock draft: 49ers trade up to fortify secondary
The San Francisco 49ers first selection in next week's draft comes at No. 31 overall. However, NFL Media analyst Chad Reuter doesn't have the Bay Area team remaining at that spot in the first round. In his seven-round mock draft, he envisions the 49ers striking a deal with the Green Bay Packers to move up six spots to No. 25 overall, where they select former Alabama cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry.
Reuter notes, "Whether it's for a cornerback like McKinstry, an offensive lineman or a receiver, the 49ers could very well give up a mid-round pick to acquire one of the few missing pieces on an otherwise potent roster."
