So far, linebackers coach Pepper Johnson has resigned, offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia has retired and tight ends coach George Godsey has gone to coach the Houston Texans’ quarterbacks for Bill O’Brien. Godsey played quarterback at Georgia Tech when O’Brien was an assistant there.

Pay Edelman like you do Amendola and you’re basically paying two No. 2 receivers what you would pay a No. 1 elite receiver. OK. But how much more diverse does your offense become? You have two guys who can get open at will against zone but are not as adept against man coverage. They are not exceptional red-zone threats or vertical threats because of their size, catch radius and stride length.
You’re getting two for the price of one No. 1 but still not getting the skill set a No. 1 brings.
