Amendola caught a mere six passes in the final four games of the season, including the playoffs. Cull it all together from the last plus months and the totality of the Amendola story has brought about discussion, rumors and reports that his lone season in New England might be his only season in Foxborough.
The Boston Globe wrote on Jan. On Feb. Based on the emails and phone calls we've gotten from Patriots fans here on Patriots. I don't really understand how New England could go from being so in love with Amendola's potential and skill set last March only to send him packing — with no cap savings — this spring.
That's right, it actually costs the Patriots more to rid themselves of No. VIEW This is a guy who was seen by supporters as the younger Welker replacement with more playmaking potential.
And Amendola went out and pretty much had a typical Amendola season. If anything, he showed a ton of guts, toughness and resiliency. What has that gotten him? If you believe reports — the trade block or the potential cutting block. Fans, media and team alike have lauded Logan Mankins for his toughness for years, including playing through a torn ACL even though that season wasn't exactly one of his better performances.
But Amendola played a year without a groin that was properly attached or functioning at a position where quickness and lateral movement are necessities and he might be run out of town? Amendola was second on the offense in targets, an offense that played most of the year without its projected key core playmakers in Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez.
He caught 50 passes for just the third time in his career. He topped his previous single-season yards-per-catch average by more than a full yard and his career average by more than 3 yards. His two touchdowns came in slightly above his career average for a season. He also seemed to work hard, put his body on the line and do everything that was asked of him, with not a bad word or questionable whisper to be heard.
Amendola is who he is. He is who he's always been. Since there would be no cap savings and he'd probably need to be replaced, Amendola is a guy that at the very least has earned at least one more year in a Patriots uniform.
And I don't see how there is any other way to look at it. Has your opinion of him changed? Should Amendola be on the Patriots roster in ? Let us know with a comment below!
