REPORT: Danny Amendola and the Patriots have agreed to restructure contract

[fnordcircle]

Yay!

 

[Soul_Survivor88]

It's about damn time...lol what a relief

 

[long distance]

my day is made

now WR/punt return competition is really gonna be brutal

It's about damn time...lol

You mean it took the guy too long to agree to give up millions of dollars?

 

[jah]

Wow, 2 pay cuts in 2 years. Not a lot of players would be okay with that, even if it is Amendola's only way not to get fired.

 

[50-yard-line]

Given the silly money thrown at receivers not as good as DA this off-season, I think any further criticism of the guy here should be taken with a pillar of salt.

Not saying Danny should'nt have protected his own interest....just meant that this whole process has made fans like me worried whether he would get cut

Okay, I agree with that. I figured the Pats would just eat it this year and cut him next year if they couldn't restructure, but I want him around!

I love Amendola, so underrated...

 

[SHOWTIME15]

I honestly thought he was a goner with malcolm mitchell getting drafted.

Edelman, amendola, hogan and mitchell look like a good group of WRs.

Not to mention other targets like gronk, bennett and lewis.

 

[NashuaPats]

Awesome. I was worried they would cut him. He's such a reliable player and fits this offense so well.

Edelman
Hogan
Amendola
Mitchell
Slater (ST)

About 5-6 WRs competing for 1 more spot.

A season or 2 ago I would have never thought I would be saying this but I am really glad to hear Danny will be sticking around for 2 more seasons. He contributes a lot as a slot WR and on STs.

 

[Ross12]

Yes!! This is great news, 3.7ish million a year is fair value for his worth to the Patriots offense knowing he could get more than that on the open market (maybe even a lot more).

I have a hard time not keeping Martin.

 

[RobertWeathers]

I have a hard time not keeping Martin.

I thin Martin's roster position is safe.

 

[AtomicDawg]

I am damned happy about this.

 

[patsinthesnow]

I have a hard time not keeping Martin.

Agreed. It's pretty much a dependable depth WR vs. players that might have higher upsides in Dobson, Harper, Lucien, and Wilson. If one of them could do something in camp that'd be nice but Martin probably takes the last spot.

edit: Forgot about Washington. Dang we have some depth.

 

[TBR]

Nice. I was starting to get worried he might get released.

Hopefully another SuperBowl or two will make the paycut well worth it.

 

[RobertWeathers]

I was getting hammered for months on suggesting this.

DA is great. I'm glad hes here.
