Agree with you 100%. Danny has been ridiculously clutch in the playoffs and Super Bowls. Love the guy, true team player. Brady loves him too.
I like the idea of Hunter, but not at the expense of DA.
No doubt, I think the Pats cut Amendola if he doesn't restructure, no way is he a 7 mill a year WR. But the clutchness cannot be overlooked.All depends on the price - they're not keeping DA at 7 million, that's for sure. Equal cost and I'd take DA over Hunter easily. We know Danny "4th-and-3" "SB-TD-&-2pter" Amendola is there when it matters!
Weird numbers, the straight line speed is really bad. Everything else is good.
I think Pats offer him 3 to 3.5 a year

If we sign this guy to get rid of Brandon Bolden then i'm all for it, because he can actually do something on offense.
Burkhead was a core special-teamer for the bengals. He led the Bengals in special teams tackles. He would take Boldens spot + he would actually have a value to the offense. So if we sign him and don't resign Bolden it's because the Pats think Burkhead is better.Bolden shouldn't really even be in the conversation about competition for RB spots anymore than Slater should be in the conversation about WR spots or Ebner should be in the conversation about Safety spots. They're special-teams specialists. If any of them are actually needed for significant snaps at their nominal positional designations, something is very, very wrong.
Bolden is a UFA and may be gone because he wants a larger raise/longer contract as a special-teamer than the Pats are willing to give him. But it won't be because the Pats have signed a better RB.
Except that, typically, active ("real") RBs on the Pats roster get very few ST snaps except at returner. If Burkhead is brought in as an RB, he's still unlikely to displace Bolden from ST.Burkhead was a core special-teamer for the bengals. He led the Bengals in special teams tackles.

I understand your point and I also see we don't have the same view on the role of Burkhead if he gets signed. I think if he's brought in he is an immediate core special teamer and gets a few touches late in blowout games. And if you want to give some guys rest or want to change pace or something like that he is able to get you some yards if he gets the ball. Also if we should end up having a horror year in terms of injuries like 2015, he would be able to be the lead running back for us and we don't have to sign a Steven Jackson-type player off the streets.

Do you think he's a replacement for Blount or Bolden?
