Good “hit“ from Reiss today about Amendola:
Receiver Danny Amendola is scheduled to earn a base salary of $6 million in 2017, which will be reduced based on his projected role (No. 4-5 receiver) if he is going to remain on the club. The fact that Amendola wasn’t cut at the start of the 2017 league year is a good indication of how the Patriots are leaving the door open if he’d like to return at a lower salary, which would mark the third straight offseason that Amendola has accepted a reduced contract. One of the follow-up questions after the Patriots acquired Brandin Cooks in a trade from the New Orleans Saints was what that meant for Amendola, and it seems clear that the door is still open for him in New England if he wants to walk through it.
Amendola himself reportedly is willing to restructure but I am happy to read this from Reiss because to me it indicates that BB is still counting on him otherwise he would let him know way before FA in order to give him the best chance to find a new gig (like w Long and many others before). Since some were already saying goodbye to Danny I thought its a good hint to share..
