Tons of great stuff throughout this one. Our “Best of the week” will return the first Saturday after the Super Bowl, just nothing “best’ about the wreckage from the season-ender.

Scarnecchia’s move was planned for a few years now; with Johnson, both sides seem to agree that this is the right time and the split is amicable; Godsey’s contract was up and his primary connection to the franchise was through Bill O’Brien (now Houston’s head coach); and Caserio remains a Patriots employee who as recently as two years ago was talking about how much he enjoys it here.

Danny Amendola may be fighting for a roster spot come March 11, the first day of the 2014 league year. Amendola signed a five-year deal worth $28.5 million ($10 million guaranteed last March), and $2 million of his $3 million base salary in 2014 becomes guaranteed if he’s on the roster at 4 p.m. on March 11. Amendola is coming off a disappointing season in which he missed four games and lost Tom Brady’s trust, and could be in danger of being cut. It would cost the Patriots $4.8 million against the cap to outright cut him, which seems unlikely given their tight cap situation, but they could designate him a post-June 1 cut, which would give him cap charges of $1.2 million in 2014 and $3.6 million in 2015. The Patriots could then use those savings to sign free agent Julian Edelman.
