Stories like this are just plain stupid and insult the intelligence of fans.
Amos is NOT underappreciated by the team. They signed him prior to the 2019 season. My guess is they were the highest bidder for him thus they appreciate him THE MOST out of all the NFL teams. Just because he outplayed his contract in his 2nd season with the Packers doesn't mean they don't appreciate him. They do. Perhaps she should say he is the player from whom they have received the most based on what he was paid for the year.

And I would argue that Amos is undervalued by fans (including myself), as when we think Packers DBs who's names came up first?
Alexander, Savage, and King (King is not nessarily in a good way, but he does come up more often).
And this offseason I've probably seen more bitching about Redmond (including myself) than I've seen much written about Amos.
Amos is just there, doing a great freaking job, but it's less flashy and doesn't get noticed as much.
When we think of our best Safety, do we think Savage or Amos? I'll admit, I think Savage... but it's been Amos.

Amos just led the Packers in snaps played for the second straight season. In coverage, measuring his pursuit (how often his hips were facing the ball/speed to the ball), he ranked fourth-best in the NFL. Pro Football Focus agrees with that computer-vision intel, counting nine forced incompletions on 42 targets in coverage for a 21.4 percent rate, the fifth-highest mark in the NFL (min. 25 targets). This helped give him a lofty 91.5 PFF grade in coverage this past season. Add in his 90.1 grade in run defense from 2017, and Amos is one of just six defensive backs to post a 90-plus in PFF's grading in coverage and against the run since the Penn State product entered the league as a fifth-round pick back in 2015. I will note that Amos' run-stopping production was not the same level of efficiency this past season as it had been in years prior, but part of that was strategic in terms of pre-snap alignment.
