Amendola, who has been in New England since 2013, was arguably the Patriots’ most valuable offensive weapon for quarterback Tom Brady in the team’s run to Super Bowl LII. He led the team in catches (26) and receiving yards (348) and was second in touchdowns with two. He also rolled up 52 yards on five punt returns. In the regular season, Amendola caught 61 passes for 659 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
The 5-foot-11-inch, 190-pound receiver signed with New England after four seasons with the St. Louis Rams. In his career as a Patriot, he has 230 receptions for 2,383 yards, and 12 touchdowns.
