Karnage84 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I'm interested in what the money is. If it's the same as last year or just a touch more, this is a good move by Quinn. In somewhat related news, it makes me wonder if Brady is going back to the Patriots. Amendola had said publicly that he would be interested in playing with Brady if he went elsewhere. However, he left NE to play for Miami in order to get paid and he likely had a chance to go back to NE if they wanted him back last year. So if I put two and two together, Brady is going back to NE and Amendola wasn't going to sign there/they weren't going to offer a contract to him anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, I'm glad that he's returning. He's clearly a guy that fully buys into the Patricia environment, and I foresee us bringing in a young receiver this year. If Patricia happens to keep his job, it only helps this team to have players that buy in and support the coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nastradamus Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Im glad. Quinn said yesterday they want veterans at spots where they will bring in rookies. Amendola is perfect for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superduperman Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I don't even think he and Stafford ever really got it working. I like bringing him back. Golladay - Jones - Amendola gives them at least one unit of the team that works without a doubt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lions017 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 This makes sense. Amendola was good last year, probably won't cost a ton, and keeps the Lions from absolutely needing to get another WR in here. They can hopefully add someone in the draft and let them develop without forcing them to take on a key role in 2020. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karnage84 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 What do you guys think about something like this (I'm just spitballing here): - Lions re-sign Amendola - Lions trade Marvin Jones (Saves $6M+/-) - Lions draft a WR (Rounds 1-3) - Lions bring in a mid-tier FA ($2-4M/year) Would this be an overall better WR room than last year, the same or worse?

Most likely worse. Could be better if you draft a stud but not likely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nastradamus Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Made too much sense. Draft one if not two WRs now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold on to Marv instead of that other move 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they need that cap space to make a big FA move, I'd think that he's more valuable on the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
