Sanu to New England is *such* a good move. They have two premier shifty slot guys. We don't have any.
It's a slot receivers world and we're just livin' in it. The name of the game is the short yard shake - the modern day south Philly floater. The short yard shake is how you move the sticks and sustain drives. For every Julio Jones, that is a Sanu behind him keeping drives alive with the short yardage shake baby.

So the question then becomes would you have traded our 2nd rd pick (likely higher than NE's pick) for Sanu?
I would not have.
I'm sure the Packers have kicked the tires on several receivers, but I doubt Gute was willing to give up a 2nd round pick for Sanu.
Nor should he have. I'm all for drafting a WR high in 2020, but would not have given up a 2nd for a FA WR when you can draft a damn good one w/ that 2nd and have them for 4 or so years on manageable contract.

Nope, I wouldn't have. New England overpaid a bit probably but they Sanu is just *such* a good fit for them. You just know he'll be a great compliment to Edelman.
I would, however, give up a #2 for AJ Green. I'd give up a #3 or #4 for Corey Davis.

I agree if you're Green Bay, who is contending but has a number of weaknesses, but if you're New England and clearly are a legitimate favorite, it might be worth the seemingly steep price if you thought Sanu would help get you all the way there. Besides, the way Belichek works, he'll swap up and down and all around and end up with a second round pick anyway.

NE can legitimately go with "all in" to win right now this year too because Brady's at that age where the likelihood of one wrong step ending his career is not low. I'd say the chances are 13.33% (repeating of course) that he blows a tendon or ligament at any second. Any second now.....still waiting.....getting closer.....any time now....

Sounds like they gave up a 3rd, 4th and 5th round pick for a rest of season rental.
NFL Network is saying it's a 3rd and 4th for Sanders and a 5th.

Seems like a steep price to pay for a rental player. What round compensatory pick will you get when he walks at the end f the year? A fifth? So you get two fifth rounders but give up a third and fourth for a guy who played for half a year for you?
On another front, the Lions are sellers: They sent Quandre Diggs to Seattle, supposedly for a fifth round pick.
Darius Slay is pissed off, and the Lions are still rebuilding. Or they're rebuilding again. Or something.
