2. The fact that he's been developing much better as a WR over the past year or so. Mike Reiss pointed out how much he had improved upon his overall speed from 2011 to 2012, and Edelman and Brady worked hard in California last offseason to help with his progression and rapport with our QB. There were certainly some very nice flashes from Edelman in the past year, and I would like to see him brought in for 15-20 reps a game to use his strengths and act as a depth option at WR.
3. With Amendola showing some injury concerns in the past 2 yrs I'd certainly like to retain Edelman and his experience and knowledge of our scheme, even if he hasn't seen as many reps as we'd have liked. One would think that a combination of Amendola/Edelman would certainly get us through 16+ games, and if Amendola does have to rest a few games I'd want to have Edelman replacing him.
Agreed -- good player, still has upside. I think we do bring him back, does not appear that there are many going after him.
We don't have many receivers that know know our offense right now......
