It's easy, and only takes a few moments.The amount of times someone writes Amendola will replace Hogan is kinda confusing to me as both are not playing the same position. Dola is a bonafida slot receiver, Hogan is supposed to be a speed guy.
This is like when people wrote that Gilmore was replacing Logan Ryan last year. Made no sense.
But Amendola does not replace Hogan. Bring in Dola and let Hogan go, you still need a guy to take the top off the defense - especially if Gronk goes (and even if he doesn’t). Amendola could come ( I doubt it) and Hogan could leave, but still need an outside WR.I’m not sure why it would be so confusing. If you add someone you need to get rid of someone, and logically it would make sense if it was another wide receiver. So the thought is that amendola would replace hogan on the roster.
No chance of that happening. Pats will go after a legit WR and probably draft someone. Gordon will probably be given a chance and they can keep him on the cheaps with a low tender.I'd hate to go into next year with the same WR corps as this year, even though I like everyone in that corps! I like Hogan, like Dorsett, like Patterson, LOVE Edelman...but that looks to me like a #1, 2 3's, and a gadget.

There will be at least 10 WR in camp and they always bring in a vet to take a look at also.
Given all the UFAs it is tough to predict what will happen. You could see 2019:
JE
Gordon
X Free agent
DA
Dorsett
Then again they need to develop a little youth also (depending on the FA signed etc)
Anyway, Pats just won #6 with basically 1 WR, 1 TE and 1 RB getting 86% of the catches, 93% of the passing yards, with an 86% completion: 18/21, 243 yds, 13.5 ypc.

By your logic it is as valid to say Amendola is replacing Adrian Clayborn or Eric Rowe. You can only replace someone if you actually play the same role as him.
Perhaps a better word would be not get open consistently. He's been open but Brady didn't look his way or threw a bad ball.Hogan seems like a great guy and I really want him to do well, but other than a few teasingly great plays, he just can't seem to get open. I would be very surprised if he was back next year.
Hogan was open loads of times during the games at the end of Josh Gordon's time here. I mean a lot.Perhaps a better word would be not get open consistently. He's been open but Brady didn't look his way or threw a bad ball.
Sure. For the right price, I would welcome him as a depth option WR4-5. Same goes for Amendola. Both know the system well and would likely provide as much, if not more, as any other option. I just don’t want the team to need them, that’s all.For the right price, I would like to see Hogan back.
