The New England Patriots released wide receiver Mohamed Sanu Wednesday after trading a second-round pick for the wideout prior to last year’s trade deadline. Sanu, who was connected to the San Francisco 49ers during that time, played two seasons with Kyle Shanahan in Atlanta. Like most players under Shanahan, Sanu’s best seasons came when Kyle was his play-caller. No, I don’t mean just looking at raw stats. Sanu has 32 receptions for 310 yards and a touchdown this season, though in a much different offense. He’s a veteran that can line up both inside and outside.
