While I agree in part we did try to sign Stevie Johnson so there clearly is room for another WR.
And a RB who can catch..
If the Pats see a guy they think they can get on the cheap with huge upside, they will go after even if it isn't a need. I think that is what they saw with Johnson. His stock is way down after two really crappy years, but may still be capable of being a 1,000 WR if motivated. He was pretty much the only WR they went after other than guys who are most likely camp fodder.
Plus they tried to get Johnson before Amendola took a pay cut. If they added Johnson, they probably would have let Amendola go.
