New England Patriots wide receiver Danny Amendola is determined to remain with the club for as long as possible after renegotiating his contract.
The 29-year-old was signed by the AFC outfit ahead of the 2013 season to replace Wes Welker as the club's slot receiver, but injuries and a lack of chemistry with quarterback Tom Brady has limited his impact with the Patriots.
However, Amendola performed well in the post-season and scored a touchdown in his side's Super Bowl triumph over the Seattle Seahawks, which resulted in an agreement with the team to renegotiate his contract to lower his cap hit and extend his Patriots career.
"I love playing for this team, I love playing for these coaches, this organisation," Amendola told reporters.
"I've got family out here. This is home to me, so yeah, I love playing for this team. It's a great experience and I'd like to prolong that for as long as I can. It's been fun.
"Everybody gets an opportunity to show what they've got, and it's something that I'm looking forward to next year. Gonna try to make the team, obviously, just like everybody else and go from there."
Amendola recorded 27 receptions for 200 yards and one touchdown for the Patriots in the 2014 season.
