It's easy, and only takes a few moments.If you look at it from Amendola’s point of view it’s a fair point he makes. A lot of key Patriots took pay cuts or below market contracts including Amendola, Brady, Bruschi, Edelman, Moss, and more. Amendola continuously took paycuts but delivered in huge spots. Brady at the end was taking 1 year prove it incentive deals. All the while Bill is paid almost double what the other highest paid coaches are. It’s human nature to look at it and say you get paid double what other coaches in your profession do but you want many of your top guys to take pay cuts or bargain deals.
I had to renegotiate my contract 3 years in a row
I can't actually open the article, but whether your post is your words or Amendola's I think that's a VERY good point.
One of those classic 'do as I say, not as I do' sort of deals.

So so true.No, he did not have to renegotiate his contract. He could have refused and been released.
Sour grapes make for poor conversation starters.
Danny Woodhead said last summer that he didn't really mind that he didn't win a Super Bowl (with regards to the 2011 loss), while it sounds like Amendola doesn't really care that he did. At the end of the day, the increased wealth is going to affect most players' lives significantly more than the outcomes of the games.
