The news that the Falcons traded Mohamed Sanu to the Patriots for a second-round pick earlier this week was a little bit shocking. Not the trade itself, necessarily: we’d heard rumors that Sanu was desired on the market in the offseason, and his contract and likelihood to be cut for cap reasons in 2020 made him a logical candidate. It was the compensation—a second-round pick, which will probably be closer to a third when it’s all said and done—that shocked me. Sanu was Atlanta’s WR3, and while he’d been solid in 2019, he wasn’t exactly blowing up the league.
How does the Falcons offense change with Sanu gone?
