Patriots trade for WR Mohamed Sanu, for a second-round pick

Ok we NEED a Blocking TE Tomlinson is not the answer shades of Ryan Izzo all over again Blocking air and doing a terrible job of it.

that's the issue and TE probably also not

You can't be perfect at every position. You try and strengthen the team the best you can...

Conley can take the top off a defense.
This is Brandon Lloyd quality at best

Brandon Lloyd has actually played at an elite level. More like a poor man's Brandon LaFell.

SBLIII said:

Sanu is a go to receiver on 3rd down and insurance for Edelman. We needed that. Meyers can't beat elite slot corners yet

Well Meyers is starting to pick up the offense. I still have questions with sanu but i am willing to give it a chance. I have no other choice.

SBLIII said:

why? It was obvious from the beginning that Wynn and Harry were coming back. Nothing has changed or will change.

I don't like the rule. Too restrictive. A team should be allowed to practice as many players as possible w/o the designation being used.

Is it possible they gave a second and Atlanta's paying some salary so we could fit him under the cap

This could be a possibility, also that Gordon could be IR'ed, in either case this trade makes a lot of sense.

He’s gonna make plays for us but i don’t think he puts this offense over the top. I can’t wait to see what harry could bring to this offense. He’s a rookie but we have seen some rookie wideouts do some things this year including AJ brown and metcalf.

The offense doesn’t need to be over the top with a nasty Defense.

The fact that you're still showing out for Braxton ****ing Berrios tells us all we need to know about you.

Hilarious coming from the one of the worst posters on this board.

Brandon Bolden is slow. hahaha

Not the same receiver.

Brandon Lloyd has actually played really well a couple of years in his career.

They need chains movers to rest the defense. Nothing more nothing less.

If the trade was just a 2nd for Sanu, it's a horrible deal..

Will be interesting to see what cap adjustments they make since they didn't have enough space to cover Sanu's cap hit..

“That’s the market,” Schefter explained. “I believe that if the Patriots weren’t going to pay that price, I think that other teams — I don’t know if they were going to go with a [second-round pick], but keep in mind the Patriots’ two is like a [third-round pick] to other teams — so that’s the price of doing business. And…if New England wasn’t going to step up, there would’ve been other teams that would’ve stepped up. There are a number of other teams seeking wide receiver help. So that was what New England was going to have to pay to get this guy.”

Sliplady said:

What did they pay? You mean we don't know yet? You can read reports all you want, but your comment is clueless at this point. Here is a fact for you to swallow. The Pats have to have the cap space for the trade. They don't. That means they have to create it. What did they do? What? You don't know that either? hmmmmmm worst trade in history.

Clueless? I never claimed to know what they are spending so stop misquoting me and then going on a rant about things you made up. My very first post on the topic said I hope the Pats are getting a 4th back or the Falcons are eating some cap space because the report, which is the only info we have, is a huge win for Atlanta. I never said worst trade in fact I have repeatedly said I trust BB’s judgement and while my initial reaction is Eww I will wait and see with an open mind cuz BB has made more chicken salad out of chicken **** then anyone else in NFL history. He makes mistakes, AB, but he does his best to fix them, Sanu?, maybe.

Now that we got Sanu, I'd prefer Wynn/Develin over Wynn/Harry...

Tb12goesinya said:

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

Sanu is, most certainly, a Diva. Not in the Terrell Owens or Antonio Brown sense, but still a Diva..

All we need to know.

Elijah said:

I'm kinda worried we're going to continue to see Bolden get designed touches while Harris is inactive. He looked good in the limited preseason action I saw, and Bolden looks slow this year.

So the Pats inquired about OJ Howard from the Bucs...did they inquire about Cameron Brate too who sees like the Y TE we need??

what you prefer is one thing what's realistic is another.

LaFell was a lot more drop prone over his career than Sanu. His nice 2014 season seemed like a HUGE fluke at the time. Otherwise both guys had similar peaks and valleys.

I'm fine with the move and don't feel like spending a 2nd rounder is some huge deal in general.

borisman said:

It's a second rounder pick. Wake the f&k up already.
And by no means am I a troll. I just went off this too early on this is all. Go find a post where I "trolled" and I'll go to Atlanta and lobby, until draft day3, on your behalf to have Atlanta send us a 5th round pick to even out the trade.

I responded the first time to your troll post. Have a great time in Atlanta.

Lucky guy. Goes from a 1-6 team to a guaranteed ring.
