you ***** about Edelman, call Amendola "Amanda". Fine my ass
Gronk is a top 5 weapon when on the field. He makes everyone better.

Gotta figure Wilfork bein released at some point will free up more cap, not sure how much I think something like 4-7mil.
Restructure should be around $4m.
Release would be $7.5-8m.
I think they restructure him.
And Gost (save $1m)
And McCourty (save 1m - complicated, will be later)
And Connolly (save 1m)
I'm assuming when I see "restructure," you mean "extend."
The problem I think, is what kind of offer can you extend him for, and how long would the extension be/what kind of money?
I think something in the range of 4m or so would be fair, but it's quite possible that both team + Wilfork may see it differently.
Wouldn't we have to extend for 2 more years in order to really see any kind of reasonable bonus spread out to lessen the 2014 cap hit? Or would 1 more year for 2015 be enough (which I'm doubting)?

I'm hoping that the guaranteed money is mostly signing bonus, to retain some flexibility on the back end of the deal if he doesn't live up to it, or if the young guys take off and take over. That would put his prorated signing bonus at $2M by itself, then I figured a likely $1M salary in 2014 on top of that.
I agree, though, that if they're feeling the squeeze particularly tight this year they could definitely push it lower.

What I meant is Pats approached Wilfork asked him to "Restructure" his contract to take less. Wilfork took it as an insult and asked to be released instead of takin a cut. Word it anyway you want bottom line is If Vince "Re Did" his contract to take less his playin time would be "Extended"
I'm not meaning to be a smart-ass at all, so I hope you don't take it that way.
“He let it be known that he would love to have me back and part of the team,” said Edelman, who is coming off a career-best season where he caught 105 passes for 1,056 yards and five touchdowns. “Tom is also a good friend of mine. He’s one of the guys who helped me develop into a professional in this league. He also told me that I have to take care of myself and my family. He kind of mentored me. It was definitely a very tough decision that you have to deal with. He would have been right there behind if I would have left or if I would have stayed there.
In retrospect, I'm glad we "lost" that twerp welker and have Edelman and Amanda(ola) in place

To each his own, but calling someone who obviously played through an excruciating injury all year a girl's name doesn't seem very appropriate. It actually seems to point towards the opposite.
If you want to call him something for underachieving, that's one thing. Questioning his toughness is something entirely different. He's definitely proven to be a tough SOB, even if he's had some bad luck.
Go back and re-watch Amendola and his potentially career ending neck/collarbone injury from 2012. He won't even go into the tunnel with the trainers until he can see the instant replay to determine whether or not they'd credit him with the catch. When everyone else said that he could possibly never play again, he came back after missing 3 games.
Bad luck? Yes. Made of glass? Possibly. But no one should question his toughness.
Injury prone, yes, made of glass, no, anyone would have been knocked out by those injuries but his history definitely puts him in the injury prone category. As for his toughness you are right on the money, he is a tough tough player and those who claim otherwise are morons.
Danny Amendola played all season on a serious groin injury, and for a guy who made his career through short area quickness with sharp cuts and really quick starts and stops there is almost nothing worse, however it didn't prevent him from running in a straight line, so he sucked it up and kept going out there for them and running straight line route after straight line route, and when there was an opening Brady went to him, but he was more decoy than anything else. When he returns next season you are going to see a completely different player and it is going to cause people to re-think their opinions on the Patriots receiving corps, they will still lack the #1 but their abilities and their receiving units will complement each other can give them strong options across the board. Edelman, Amendola, and Dobson/Lafell with Gronk at TE and Vereen in the backfield poses a good number of problems for any secondary. (I don't think they are done yet but that's still a good starting point for any team.)
Imo the revelation next season is going to be Amendola, even though i actually have confidence in both Dobson and Boyce improving and really contributing, but I am betting on Amendola to have a big season and people will be talking about how lucky they are to have him and not how much they want to get rid of him.
