When Gordon was playing he was a Ghost.

Feeling a little better about the #2 after seeing this. Gotta think BB will get back the 2 — if he wants.

WR1 Edelman
WR2 Sanu

Dorsett situational WR
Gordon IR?
Harry WR3?
Meyers WR5?

• I'm guessing Gordon is banged up considering his level of play this season. Would not be surprised at him going to IR. Gordon or Harry will play X WR.
• Meyers is now sent to the bench despite being top 10 in rookie receiving yards & #1 in catch rate.
• Could they run air raid 4 WR when Wynn returns? Meyers & Dorsett are better than Watson/LaCosse.

Not a fan of the compensation but Sanu is a fine player & will fit in well.

This move is about preserving JE as much as anything.

Are we still in the market for a TE?

Yes Gronk

Brady mentioned last night that they talk all the time. Gronk will crack and then take off his Barney suit of clothes and come back to the Pats.

Brady will now have to surrender #12

Brady is known to be a good teammate. All he needs is to change the brand TB12 to TBTBD, Tom Brady To Be Determined.

Woke up to this news and i still can’t believe it. A second rounder wow.

Does Sanu bring any special team value?

Before the Giants game he was on a pace for 60 catches and 900 yds. Thats a good ghost.

I suppose we owe the Falcons after the Jordan Richard's trade...

Yesss called it! Sanu is a quintessential belichick wr

Almendola and Edelman played together.

Sanu will start with Edelman.

Everyone has their opinion but this is an overpay if i ever saw one for a guy that doesn’t get separation

Sanu has good hands, size, and speed. He's also a solid route runner. I like the trade!

At this stage of his career age 30....he’s more like a 4!.....I guess my first question is why is Sanu so much of an upgrade over Demaryius Thomas who we basically owned for peanuts?!?!

Because we had just acquired fantastic WR.
.....A nut job, duma55, never coming back, soon to be exempt WR

A 2nd rounder for Sanu is a yikes from me.

2nd round is high, but they needed wr help. Contract through next season makes it not so bad.

He’s worth a fourth rounder not a second rounder.

Sanu is a gamer. Tough. Not a diva guy in the slightest. He will be fit this team perfectly. He is also versatile as a big slot guy, blocking in running game, and can also help execute a trick play..shhh

I don't think you are informed.

Mohamed Sanu has NFL's 4th-best separation vs. press since coming to Falcons
