Reports: Dolphins waive WR Amendola

Veteran wide receiver Danny Amendola was released Friday by the Miami Dolphins, according to multiple reports. The Dolphins signed Amendola, a two-time Super Bowl champion with the New England Patriots, to a two-year, $12 million contract a year ago. By releasing him, the Dolphins will free up $6 million in salary cap money.

In his one season in Miami, the 33-year-old Amendola started 15 games but caught just 59 passes for 575 yards, an average of just 38.3 yards per game. He caught one touchdown pass. Undrafted out of Texas Tech, Amendola played for the St. Louis Rams from 2009-12, then with the Patriots from 2013-17. He has 485 career receptions for 4,684 yards and 20 receiving scores.
