The San Francisco 49ers added depth to the receiving core by signing veteran Mohamed Sanu to a one-year deal, according to his agent Mike McCartney.
Sanu was released by the New England Patriots in September as part of the team's cuts ahead of the 2020 season. It capped a disappointing run with the team after being acquired in a deadline trade in 2019 in exchange for a second-round pick.
He finished with 26 catches for 207 yards and one touchdown in eight games, failing to provide the Patriots with the much-needed receiving threat they were seeking for the stretch run.
