    i like amendola and he's been relatively healthy the past 2 seasons but the patriots gave keshawn an extension than keeping danny.:p
    I wouldn't mind the signing though.

    Amendola has never done it for me and if he can't be a player in NE he wont be any better with us... What is he like a 7 year vet now? And I don't think he has really accomplished anything.

    Nothing spectacular but he's more reliable than Shorts and definitely more proven than Strong at this point. His stats at NE weren't great but he was also the 3rd target after Edelman and Gronk, you could maybe even put him as the 4th target considering how much NE throws to their RBs.

    well everytime i seen him play- he was a very reliable WR.. He would get open in the slot and occasionally would be open deep.. also i think he was a great kick off/punt returner..

    I would absolutely add Amendola if he got cut, but I'm not sure he actually will be. Guy is a productive player that just gets open. As a slot receiver I would love to add him. Guys who can reliably get open and catch the football are critical for first downs.

    If you want an Amendola but Amendola doesn't get cut, just draft Daniel Braverman in the 5th round:

    I would totally crap on the move but I wouldn't expect much out of it... And I actually really like shorts because of his versatility. He added a whole other dimension to our offense.

    The thing I would most like about amendola is his KR ability... That is a much needed upgrade imo.

    that would be nice- I think Obrien would be a type of coach that could handle him-
    but more and likely wont happen
