The Patriots wasted no time in finding a replacement for Wes Welker who bolted for the Broncos.  The Pats reportedly will give Rams receiver Danny Amendola at 5-year deal worth $31M, $10M guarenteed.

The 27-year old Amendola has a history of injury problems, playing in 11-games last season and missing virtually all of 2011 with a dislocated elbow and a triceps injury.

He has just seven TD catches in 42 career games.
