Pats are F'd
Seems really cheap. Brady is reportedly infuriated that the Patriots let his favorite target walk for 6 mil per year not so long after Brady signed a ridiculously cap-generous extension that cleared up 9 million in cap space for this year.
Even coming from a Raiders fan, Broncos just became instant AFC favorites. Ravens won't be nearly as strong with Lewis, Ellerbe, Kruger, Reed, Boldin gone. Patriots just got a lot weaker, and the Broncos offense is nuts, especially if they go on to sign a running back like Steven Jackson or Ahmad Bradshaw to top it off.
Based Decker, Thomas, and Welker, gotdamn
YES. Addition by subtraction tbh. Amendola will make up for his production and they'll have more to go after defense and a deep threat.
Hasn't he be injury prone the past couple years?
I did know he on the skins this year though when he played
Either way the Patriots dont need to waste money on Welker. Really don't need Amendola, just move Hernandez to the slot and sign a deep threat. Pats still have Jake Ballard to run any 2TE sets with Gronk, Hernandez is a WR basically anyways.
Yup. It's not like free agency just began a day ago and the Pats have $25M to spend in a buyer's market. Hopefully they enjoy all those superbowls they won with Wes Welker.
Fins fans acting like New England is surrendering the division. Since Brady has been at the helm, the Pats only failed to win the AFC East in 2002-2003.
I don't think they're gonna sign Amendola unless it's pretty cheap. If they valued Welker at $5M a year they probably don't value Amendola above $3M a year. IMO, letting Welker leave when it wouldn't have required much of a financial commitment to keep him tells me they're main goal is to move away from the offense that only picks up yards inside the numbers and gets easily shut down in the playoffs.
Ya its not like there are more wes welkers to get in that buyers market of them SBs wes won...
Great move for Denver especially at that price. Broncos also beefed up their interior D. If they keep Dumervil, they will be set and still have a draft class to import more talent. Gotta keep Dumervil, though.
you act like Wes Welker made New England's offense when it's completely the other way around. You wouldn't even know who Wes Welker is if not for Tom Brady.
Your own QB thinks the same...![]()
If Brady's deal trimmed about 9 mil off their cap this year, they couldn't use 6 mil to say "thanks" and sign his favorite target? lmao Kraft.
i hope they enjoy their AFC east les and playoff exits. Superbowls since spygate: 0
Tom Curran (the guy who reported that Tom Brady is infuriated) already backed away from the report saying he misspoke and has no idea how Tom Brady feels.
Try again.
Oh look, that's as many superbowls as they have with Welker.
Spygate must be why Welker dropped a superbowl winning catch.
I thought Kraft loved Welker and wanted him to be a pat till he retired like his QB?![]()
Lets see...
So much for that.
Amendola to New England on a 5 year deal.
Amendola 4 Welker....![]()

Well apparently idk how to embed tweets, here they are though:
Tom E. Curran @tomecurran
@ProFootballTalk The source close to Brady was "enraged." I do not know Brady's state of mind. Sorry for the confusion.
Tom E. Curran @tomecurran
The enraged party in my previous tweet was someone close to Brady. Not Brady himself. Got no idea how he feels. But I bet I could guess.
Five years for a wide reciever who can barely stay on the field?![]()
AOk this curran is a DA and they are rip'n him 1... but you cant say your owner didnt come out...
Welker's production before New England is worse than Amendola's
people pretending Welker was relevant before going to New England
