The Patriots identified a need at wide receiver with Julian Edelman out for the season, and they merely had to give up third string quarterback Jacoby Brissett to get him.
With some of the other moves the Patriots have made this offseason, it stands to reason that the dynamic of the offense in New England is about to change pretty significantly.
What that means is, the Patriots are going to get Amendola one-on-one opportunities from the slot by using their players with speed and big play abilities, a primary reason they acquired Dorsett.
That means the Patriots have more than tripled the number of 50-plus yard plays at the receiver position by adding just two players.
Dorsett was just recently picked up in a trade, and learning the Josh McDaniels offense is not an overnight process.
