CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — With favorite target Wes Welker now in Denver after a contract squabble with the Patriots, Tom Brady is using the offseason to get used to new slot receiver Danny Amendola.

“He comes in and he works really hard and he wants to do everything right,” Brady said Friday night at halftime of his Boston Buddies charity touch football game. “He’s very competitive. It’s been a lot of fun. He’s out here today, we’re having fun together.”
