Reaction has come in fast and furious following the news of the Falcons trading fan favorite Mohamed Sanu to the Patriots.
The 30-year-old wide receiver used social media to thank the Falcons organization, of which he has been a part of since 2016.
- Bradley: Falcons get a draft pick for Sanu, but who'll make that choice?
I appreciate everything the organization has done for my family & I. Mr. Blank, TD, Coach Q, & everyone through the organization, I am forever grateful for the opportunity. To my Teammates & fan y’all know how I feel about y’all love y’all to death. #ThankYou

Trade comp was rich for Mohamed Sanu, but one benefit that the Patriots get that wasn't there with Emmanuel Sanders: Sanu is affordable cap-wise now, and under contract for next year.

He's got about about $3.7 million left this year, and will cost $6.5 million next year.

"While everyone else is talking about Sam Darnold 'seeing ghosts,' Belichick is out there realizing that team is still not good enough. He's trying to improve the Patriots while we're sleeping." pic.twitter.com/YXUWzlzU1T
