Not sure I trust him

What if the Colts are sending him here to sabotage us?
 
When is the last time Reggie played on a new team; in a new system? There's a learning curve, but also some excitement...should be going to the Pats (after winning the SB). And tell me that Reggie isn't curious about catching Tom's passes? Hopefully, Reggie will draw from this, whilst showing the league that he's still a WR to watch.

Waynes early season game log before the injuries. Not like TDs are neccessary either with Gronk/Chandler redzone package.
 
Good Signing. Hopefully he still has something left in the tank to help the team.
 
Guy can play. No downside here at all. Great signing and great leader. could make the WR very potent if not versatile.
 
Great, we're going to need all the offense we can get. I don't know if the defense is going to be any good.
 
Colts will have many regrets this season...
 
Amendola just had a nice playoff run, looks healthy and is having a strong camp, no way he is cut, BB always praise his work ethics and effort.

Its going to suck according to you....right?

If those are from 2014, post ACL, pre triceps thats actually very encouraging.

417 yards on 34 receptions (12.2ypc) in 6 games? First 6 games back from a devastating knee injury? Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that's more than Amendola did including the post season (And yea, I know Dola was a playoff hero last year and I love him for it, that's not me bashing him).

Wayne may actually start the season as the WR2 if LaFell isn't ready and be the WR3 when LaFell returns. Seeing how well he did early last year before the Triceps injury has me a lot more optimistic on this signing.
 
I love this deal for these reasons:

1. Elite route runner - Our offense is based on precision and timing. We have a QB who is very patient and willing to let a play develop.
2. Physical WR who can play on the outside/inside - Colts used him mainly on the inside last year. He's a physical tough WR who can catch curls and is a very good possession receiver. He won't be able to take it the house, but will consistently catch those 5-8 yard throws and move the chains. We have Gronk and Edelman who can break out, this is what we need.
3. Great on Slants - Gronk goes down the middle and uses power, Edelman likes to juke and catch drags and outs. Wayne will be our quick slant guy.
4. Veteran with a positive attitude - I think he will fit in nicely in the lockerroom
 
If Wayne has any physical ability left, he's the guy I think Brady will love to have as a receiving option on 3rd downs and in critical situations.
