First, I think Amendola and Edelman were effective together for that first season together. That's about it. The rest of the time one was either hurt and/or just not very effective (Amendola).I'm sure the team that played Amendola and Edelman concomitantly for years could find a way to fit a more twitchy slot guy and Meyers on the same field. Bourne isn't that guy either, he fits that profile even less than Meyers. Not a "get open quick in space" guy.
The fact that Bourne isn't that guy either is kind of the point. Assuming BOB is looking to add a fast twitchy slot guy, I can see them letting Meyers go. Now for that contract, I wish the Pats kept Meyers(assuming they had the chance) but can see why they might want to go in a different direction. I'm willing to wait to see what BB and company do.
