The New England Patriots are reportedly set to release veteran wide receiver Mohamed Sanu, making him a free agent — and the Tennessee Titans should be licking their chops.
Full disclaimer: Sanu likely prefers a situation in which he can start, something the Titans cannot offer. However, that doesn’t mean the organization shouldn’t at least kick the tires on the former Rutgers University standout.
At 6-foot-2 and 215 pounds, Sanu is the kind of big-bodied wideout head coach Mike Vrabel has mentioned the team is looking for, and the Titans could certainly utilize him in the red zone.
Now, I’m not advocating that Sanu eat into wide receiver Corey Davis’ target share, but rather that he could be a stellar 4A to wide receiver Kalif Raymond’s 4B on the depth chart.
Sanu would give the Titans options — room for offensive coordinator Arthur Smith to get creative.
Depending on how much he has left in the tank, Sanu could provide an upgrade over Tennessee’s fourth wideout from 2019, Tajae Sharpe.
Imagine a four-wide set including Sanu on the goal line to spread out opposing defenses, only to hand the ball to running back Derrick Henry for a walk-in touchdown. Sounds pretty sweet.
For his career, Sanu has 403 receptions for 4,507 yards and 28 combined touchdowns.
