Signing Danny Amendola appeared to be a reflex move by the Patriots, after Wes Welker bolted for the Broncos.
But according to Tom Curran of Comcast Sportsnet, the Patriots actually made their move first, agreeing to terms with Amendola Tuesday, a day before Welker agreed to his Denver deal.
The Welker news came first, creating the impression of a counter-move.
But once Welker turned down their offer and tested the market when it opened Tuesday, the Patriots went ahead with the Rams free agent.
While this news changes the narrative, it doesn’t change the basic facts in the case — the Pats made Welker an offer, he didn’t like it, so both sides moved on.
