Terrible...

 

[biggunsbob]

Seems like a lot of money but hey it’s only 1 year. Not going to kill the deal until I see what he does. Last season had 59 catches for 575 yards for almost 10 yards a catch last season with crappy qb’s In Miami. He was targeted 75 times.

He can fill in and return punts also in a pinch.

[Mitchrapp]

10 yards a catch translate to about 6 here. Detroit doesn't have a lot of plays for a slot receiver. Same play over and over so unless he's a yac guy like Tate not sure it works too well..

 

[LKP]

New oc mitch

600 yards or 200 for amendola. We will see what we get. Should get targets for 600 barring injury

And cooter had plays for slot. But needed a good alot like tate to run them..boldin did well in slot too

 

[tomdalton22]

Amendola's average season (minus 2011 when he only played one game)

53 rec, 520 yards, 2 TDs

He's a turd...this year he will be an older turd (34)

 

[nsonnett14]

Well if Hughes and Dalton dont like it , that means it's a great move . Perfect slot guy , catches everything , good yac and wont be a drama queen .

 

[mhughes0021]

We just signed a 6 million dollar cheerleader. yippie.

 

[LKP]

Lotta running with kerryon
Golladay and marvin have both been 1000 yard receivers. Slot can be a 500-600 yard guy

 

[tigermud]

Tate would have been a better option

 

[LKP]

Amendola missed only 8 games last 4 seasons. And now of course will be on ir by week3. Lions injury luck

 

[LKP]

Amendola 12th most first downs for slot wrs in 2018

3.2 yard separation. Tate was 3.0 in 2018 but yac king

 

[inkfreq]

I don't care if Amendola is the greatest slot receiver ever to play the game when he's healthy. The problem is he's never healthy.

It's the same reason we let Ziggy walk. All the talent in the world doesn't help in street clothes from the sidelines, and now we turn around and give $4.5mm to the same thing.. a guy with real talent who's made of glass.

Amendola only missed 8 games over last 4 years.

 

[biggunsbob]

Maybe Danny catches 75+ passes next year !

Amendola only missed 8 games over last 4 years.

Maybe you don't understand the difference between games played and games started.

http://www.nfl.com/player/dannyamendola/2649/gamelogs?season=2017

Go there and play with the years. Have a look. He has STARTED in more than eight games once.

If starting means ?on the field for the first offensive snap?, then I?m not sure what importance that has.

 

[brewer229]

I thought Brandon Powell showed some potential. This signing likely takes away from him seeing the field as much.

That said, trying to be the Patriots little brother, it's not a horrible signing. He's a smart player that will do his job. He's not elite talent, but he won't make mistakes. He will be where he's suppose to be and if everyone can buy in to the system, should lead to some open throws.
