It's easy, and only takes a few moments.The return game is more than likely why the team is sniffing around Cunningham. Amendola's cap hit is too high for what he's given the team, minus the 2014 playoffs. And he's injury prone. Further, there's still a draft coming where the team could address the returner situation as well.
Sanu got 7 mill for about the same production, Matthews got 5 mill for about the same production. 4 mill seems like a bargain for a FA WR of his caliber in 2016.Seems a little high for Hogan, but BB certainly has intimate knowledge of him and has seen him play game situations against Patriots, so they may know something about his route running that is more appealing to them. I also like the versatility that he can apparently play both slot and outside.
I am also with those who think we should try to keep Amendola, although with a slightly reduced cap number. He really has been clutch for us at critical times, and his punt return value makes him a versatile peg. That slot position is so critical to this offense that I would hate to have it all riding on Edelman. The Amendola/ Edelman combo is very solid depth in my view. Hogan could be an emergency slot back-up but hopefully play more outside.
Jones- 1 season of more than 50 catches ($8m per)
Sanu- 1 season of more than 50 catches ($7.5m per)
Benjamin- 1 season of more than 20 catches ($6m per)
Matthews- 0 seasons of more than 40 catches ($5m per.. choose Tennessee because he didn't want to be the 4th option in NE)
Kearse- 1 season of more than 40 catches ($4.5m per. seems like he wanted to stay in Seattle)
There aren't a lot of $2M players who are any good any more. It's not realistic to compare his salary to Edelman because we got him at a crazy bargain.Overall a poor man's Edelman. A player I would like to have but I think that we sign him for less than 4M a year. He looks like a 2M a year player to me.
I'm actually Bill Belichick so what I say goes.

I'm starting to think Deus is right re: Patriots fans valuations of players.

What's that?
Isn't that close to what Kearse got?
So please cut Cannon.

How can you make this claim in light of other recently-signed contracts at the position?
