Love Danny but the "Patriots don't pay" narrative is not true.
He seems to have forgotten how in 2013 an oft-injured WR from the Rams was paid $30m to come here.
Bet he hasn't forgotten the cold reality that the $17.5m he banked in 5 years of playing here fell just a 'bit' short of the $31m he signed for though. The reality is if your name is Danny Amendola the "Patriots don't pay narrative" is true, if you are Devon McCourty it is not. It's a case by case and position by position thing. The Pats obviously believe the WR market is ridiculously over inflated yet they had a part in driving the safety position to it's current level, which seems to be undergoing it's own market correction this offseason.
