WR Danny Amendola agrees to "reduced contract" to stay with Patriots
Amendola was projected to earn $6 million in 2017, which was much too expensive for his contributions on the field. "Update: Amendola's new deal will be a slight increase from the $1.6M he made in 2017, per source". Amendola caught 23 passes and scored four touchdowns last season. The 31-year-old veteran is an effective slot receiver with sure hands and a penchant for moving the chains, but he has seemingly never been able to reach his full potential due to the myriad injuries that have ...
