Mohamed Sanu Can’t Hide His Excitement Over Becoming A Patriot

Mohamed Sanu had the best day in his career, and the New England Patriots will definitely enjoy a lot of benefits. The Patriots smashed the New York Jets, and they got some good news.

Sanu is probably happy to join the 7-0 Patriots, and he already knows Devin and Jason McCourty.

The veteran wide receiver shared a video of head coach Bill Belichick saying “big day for Rutgers,” with laughing emojis.

According to Adam Schefter, the Patriots pursued Sanu during the 2019 NFL Draft, and six months later, he becomes Tom Brady’s teammate.

“They’ve been trying to get him since before the draft,” Schefter said. “They offered a (second-round pick) before the draft, and the Falcons turned them down. The Falcons were in a different spot then than they are today losing games. When Atlanta lost Sunday and it was clear they’re not going to be making the type of run they’d like to, the Falcons decided to make the move.

“I think the two sides began intensifying discussions maybe Sunday night, maybe Monday and basically put the framework in place to get this done,” Schefter told WEEI.

“I believe that if the Patriots weren’t going to pay that price, I think other teams — I don’t know if they would go to a two — but keep in mind, with the Patriots, a two is like a (third-round pick) to other teams,” Schefter pointed out. “That’s the price of doing business. If New England wasn’t going to step up, there were going to be other teams that would have stepped up. There were enough other teams seeking wide receiver help. That’s what New England was going to have to pay to get this guy, New England has wanted this guy and New England finally has this guy. They need and want more help. They want that, and they got it in Sanu.”

“I don’t think they’re ever done,” he said on WEEI. “I don’t know how likely it is they make another move, but I wouldn’t be surprised. … It’s not like they don’t need help at those spots, and if they can find help at those spots and it makes sense, they’ll do it.”
