The Patriots signed Amendola a five-year contract in 2013 to replace Wes Welker. The 32-year-old had 196 receptions for 1,726 yards and seven touchdowns in New England. He also won two Super Bowl titles with the team in 2014 and 2016.
The Dolphins needed depth at wide receiver after agreeing to a trade that will send Jarvis Landry to the Cleveland Browns, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Amendola will likely be Miami's primary slot receiver next season, with Kenny Stills and DeVante Parker on the outside.
