Amendola just signed a 2 year 12M dollar contract at 32. he can be cut next year with no cap hit so it could also be seen as a 1 year 6M dollar contract.
In his 3 years with the Patriots Amendola had 2 pretty healthy years where he played in 14 games or more. He had 650 yards in those years and 250 yards in an injured year. Add in that he had a number of very impressive playoff games.
Hogan in his 2 years here has been healthy once and injured once. When healthy for 15 games he got 680 yards. When healthy for about 9 he got 439 yards.
He also had some very nice playoff performances. I think he never got the credit for those that he deserved. Seeing as he is 3 years younger just about he should be worth more right now than Amendola on the open market. But if he wants to stay with the Patriots he will need to take a minor discount. The question is, is he willing.
I think the contract Hogan can get on the open market is about 4 years 24M (if he wants a longer contract) or 3 years 20M (if he wants a shorter one).
The Patriots are not willing to pay him more than Edelman of course (making a 5.5M average).
Hogan to be here would need to sign for something like 3 years 14M is my guess.
That's a lot of money to give up.
