But isn't the cap hit a sunk cost? You get hit with that whether he's on the roster or not, but if he's not it opens up a roster spot.
Trust me, I wouldn't lose sleep if Amendola was cut as I was typing this post. It's just the fact of the situation. If Amendola wasn't carrying around that cap hit he would have been gone or close to gone already. The Pats are paying him a lot of money and do not want to take the cap hit in releasing him so they might as well keep him around* and pray that he starts producing.
* I do not think he will stay around for his entire contract here, but there isn't a chance he gets let go this season
