Patriots did Amendola deal before Welker signed with Broncos

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.

Quick-healing Amendola questionable for Sunday’s game

Rams quarterback Sam Bradford said earlier this week it would he hard to slow wideout Danny Amendola down. And the “outside chance,” just got a little better.
The Rams listed the wide receiver as questionable on their injury report, making him a 50-50 call for Sunday’s game against the Patriots.
He’s three weeks out from an injury that was pegged at four to eight weeks in terms of recovery time, and they have a bye after this trip, which would give him plenty of time to get ready for the next game.
The Rams could also be without their first two options at left tackle, as Rodger Saffold is out and Wayne Hunter is questionable.
