Guregian: Patriots can replace Danny Amendola’s numbers, but can they replace his intangibles?

Danny Amendola once said they’d have to rip the Patriots jersey off him. Well, it looks like a $12 million deal from the Dolphins was able to pry that jersey loose.

Quite simply, Miami gave Amendola an offer he couldn’t refuse. That means one of the Patriots’ all-time great clutch players, who took $10 million in pay cuts over the last three years just to continue playing with Tom Brady and the Patriots, is finally cashing in.

Good for him. But it’s also a tough blow for the Pats and Brady, who may be wondering what go-to targets he’ll have lining up with him next season.
