There are multiple reports but first detailed by Dan Hellie that the Miami Dolphins are signing Patriots free agent wide receiver Danny Amendola. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Terms of the deal are not yet available.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was a devastating development for the Patriots, of the three big team free agents, Nate Solder, Dion Lewis and Amendola, it was he that was the most expected back in 2018. The man who has taken more than one pay cut to remain with the Patriots is now on his way to South Beach.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He was clutch for the Patriots, especially in the playoffs and will have saved his best for last. The three-game stretch of the playoffs was the best of his career. He caught for 26 passes for 348 yards during the Super Bowl run after catching 61 passes during the regular season.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7794\" style=\"width: 635px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7794\" class=\"wp-image-7794 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Amendola-1024x730.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Amendola-1024x730.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Amendola-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Amendola-1536x1095.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Amendola.jpg 1576w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7794\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Danny Amendola was one of the most clutch Patriots in the playoffs.

The Patriots lose much more. He was their primary punt returner, the emergency insurance policy with Julian Edelman down and possessed the best hands on the team. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At age 32, this was his last, best chance to cash in and his market will never be any higher. Needless to say, neither of the last two Super Bowl wins happen without the clutch play that Amendola produced for the Patriots.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Miami needs a slot receiver, having just traded Jarvis Landry to the Cleveland Browns. Ryan Tannehill just got an early free agency gift. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The three-game stretch of the playoffs was the best of his career.
