It’s been reported that Danny Amendola has restructured his deal, as expected, giving the Pats some more cap space to operate with. Amendola really came into his own this year, starting when he began returning kickoffs. In the playoffs, he emerged as a complimentary threat who came through with three touchdowns and a huge third down conversion against the Ravens.

Now that he’s no longer viewed as the “Welker replacement” Amendola can continue to carve out a vital role in the offense. Excited to welcome him back.

Patriots Sign Jabaal Sheard to 2-year, $11 million deal

by

The Patriots finally made a significant move in free agency, signing defensive end Jabaal Sheard to a two-year deal worth $11 million according to multiple outlets. 

Sheard was a player that I, along with quite a few other Pats analysts, liked. I had him ranked 17th overall on my big board that season and now that the Pats are getting him, it’s a very good move.

Sheard immediately becomes a legitimate 3rd defensive end, and while he has some pass rush power, it’s his stoutness against the run that really make him a great fit. He can sub for both Rob Ninkovich or Chandler Jones, and also serve as a designated pass rusher in sub-packages.

While he played some outside linebacker in Cleveland, he was better as a defensive end, which is how the Pats will ask him to play. Knowing he can stand up and drop occassionally, something the Pats will do with their ends, is a big plus.

Throw in he was the Browns 2013 Walter Payton Man of the Year for his service in the community and he’s really a perfect fit in New England. He plays the way the Pats want to play.

For those clamoring for more pass rush now that the outside corners have been downgraded, this is a move to feel even better about.
