Another year with Amendola: WR signs reduced contract

[VrabelMayeWin]

Another year with Amendola . . .




This is a good thing we all knew was likely coming. All defense in this draft . . .

Amendola signs reduced contract



Solid move. Win-win.

Solid move. Win-win.

You're forgetting the W from the fan perspective.

Win-win-win

 

[Crazy Patriot Guy]

Regardless of how much he was due to make vs. production, it says a lot about his character and how much he loves playing for the Pats to take a pay cut 3 consecutive years.

WR roster cut downs will be interesting to see, if/when anyone flashes a lot of potential during training camp.

Cooks
Edelman
Mitchell
Hogan
Amendola
Slater

The # of WR on the final roster has been 6 each of the last 3 seasons. There are 6 guys listed above - any cuts likely? Who's your first cut?

Welcome back Danny!!

It's always good to have veteran depth. Danny has made some clutch catches in the past, Brady has a comfort and rapport with him and knows the guy will be in the right spot. And you can't count on all your WRs to be healthy all the time. So I'm very happy to hear that he's coming back!

Pats are just super stacked at WR.
If anything, I feel this means it is unlikely that Floyd returns. But that's ok.
We didn't give up anything to get Floyd in the first place.

 

[VrabelMayeWin]

Looks like about $4M savings as he was scheduled for $6M and sounds like he'll get about $2M.

Its so ridiculous seeing that list of receivers, and then reminding myself that we have Gronk ROFL

A couple weeks after the Superbowl win, I still really enjoyed watching Gronk highlights from 2014. I particularly love this one:

Danny Amendola was never the Wes Welker replacement we had hoped for when we signed him. But he's given us more clutch plays than we could've expected.

 

[AtomicDawg]

This is why I'm glad DA is back. Among other things.

 

[Clonamery]

He's a winner.

Don't know why you got a dislike, what you said was objectively true.

 

[scott99]

Extremely happy about this. He is so clutch in the playoffs, Brady seems to trust him big time. WR depth on this team is filthy.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Regardless of how much he was due to make vs. production, it says a lot about his character and how much he loves playing for the Pats to take a pay cut 3 consecutive years.

Also says he saw the market and was unlikely to make more $ elsewhere.

I wonder what they could do with 4m. Give it to a RB perhaps. Great to have Danny for another playoff run.

 

[Huckleberry1]

Great news, he's as clutch as it gets.

 

[Kontradiction]

This was a given at some point. Pretty soon, Amendola is going to have to pay the Patriots to play for them.

 

[Todd Bradley]

Was a forgone conclusion, but wow. Guy took a $4 mill pay cut to stay a Patriot. Nothing but respect for Dola.

One of the most clutch playoff performers this team has ever seen. Will go down as a legendary New England Patriot.
