Amendola is basically a poor man's Wes Welker. He runs a lot of short, underneath routes. Definitely not gonna stretch the field, which is a big part of our offense. Honestly, I'd expect him to end up in New England if they can't re-sign Welker and he doesn't re-sign with the Rams. He'd be much cheaper than Welker but provide the same skill set.

He'd be a decent pick-up for us but he wouldn't be my first choice of the FA WRs. Doesn't really fit our scheme, IMO.

Heh the Pats gave Amendola $200k more per year to Amendola than the Broncos gave Welker. I have a feeling that was a slight FU to Welker and the signing is Belichick trying to prove his system can make any average WR have good stats like it did for Welker.

Amendola has a better catch rate and a much much lower drop rate then Welker does from the slot. He's going to light it up in NE.

      Panthers sign Hunter Renfrow

      By CRA · Posted

      he averaged 2 yards in YAC per reception last year.  He can't generate quick separation.  He was debating retirement last year.    Yet we championing him as some great option.  AT is a savvy vet we force feed the ball too......on a team starved for basic offense the last couple seasons.  We overrated AT.  Which is why some freak when people like JT on his podcast point out the painfully obvious about him.

      The Athletic has us ranked 28th on their post-draft power rankings, mainly due to us picking T-Mc instead of defense in round 1. They recognize we needed WR help, but... https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6317651/2025/04/29/nfl-power-rankings-post-draft-rookies-eagles-chiefs-bills/

      I mean, he is a slot technician.  That's what he does.  So, in a good offense, you would be trotting him out there on 3rd downs and situationally.....to not take what they give him but to move chains.  It's a niche.  AT hasn't threatened defenses in years.  Last time we saw Renfrow on the field he averaged..... 6 yards YAC per catch.  Adam Thielen last year averaged....2 yards in YAC per catch last year.  I still contend in reality, AT isn't a slot WR.  Not in reality.  He is an aging rec TE.  And those aren't the same thing.  AT simply can't generate quick separation or provide YAC.
