The Patriots Have Released Mohamed Sanu

The Patriots have informed veteran WR Mohamed Sanu of their intention to release him, a source confirms. @RapSheet first reported this.

Sanu was not part of ESPN's final roster projection posted this morning (Insider content): https://t.co/NwC3TUdFDY

I never understood the Sanu trade for the Patriots. On what planet is a 30 year old WR with zero 1,000 yard (or even 900 yard) seasons worth a 2nd rounder? Maaaybe on the asteroid that created Bill O'Brien's chin divot? but certainly not on any planet.

Last year when the Pats acquired Sanu I thought it was an horrible deal!  You should read this for proof! I may not always be right (example: thinking the Eovaldi deal wasn't awful...but in my defense I was under the impression the Red Sox didn't care about payroll....) but I'm batting 1.000 in knowing that a 2nd rounder for a WR whose best plays are all passes is not a smart trade. Today Mohamed Sanu is no longer a Patriot. While it does prove my intelligence and football guy acumen, I'm not excited about it...just means the Patriots have fucked up yet another transaction...only now we don't have Tom Brady to hide the mistakes.

..but Tom E. Curran put I-an in his place! (no offense)

Unfortunately, and no offense Rap as you weren’t at practices, not a surprise as he just seemed kind of plodding out there. Large salary and that combined to make this almost expected. https://t.co/bqTWcZJDSg

Mohamed Sanu's forever legacy IMO is being the dude who said the Falcons were about to "put up 40 something on they ass" before partaking in the biggest collapse in Super Bowl history. I guess he got the last laugh though by costing the Patriots a 2nd rounder. You could argue he's partly responsible for Brady leaving by being fucking awful/hurt in 2019. 2nd rounder for a grand total of 207 yards. Awesome! Can't wait to see the Patriots go empty backfield with Edelman, James White, Burkhead (if he doesn't get cut too), Gunner and one of those tight ends nobody has heard of. #InBillWeTrust

P.S. Time for N'Keal to shine. If he isn't ruled out of bounds against the Chiefs last year I'm convinced that Kansas City doesn't win the Super Bowl.
