FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Barring an unexpected last-minute change of heart, wide receiver Danny Amendola is expected to sign a two-year deal with the Miami Dolphins, a source confirmed to ESPN. An NFL Network report indicates the contract will be worth $12 million, with $8.25 million guaranteed.
That total of guaranteed money is worth more than Amendola's total compensation over the last three seasons with the Patriots -- in which he took pay reductions each year to stick around -- and it highlights why this type of deal could be hard for Amendola to turn down.
