The New England Patriots’ resolve to free Mohamed Sanu, while not entirely shocking, is causing a seismic change in the gigantic reception room.
Sanu, lack of speed and everything, one of the 3 headlines scheduled for the Patriots offensive at the education camp.His release opens one of those posts with Julian Edelman and (probably) N’Keal Harry.
The Patriots now stay with Edelman, Harry, Damiere Byrd, Gunner Olszewski, Jakobi Meyers, Devin Ross, Jeff Thomas, Isaiah Zuber and Andre Baccellia in their spacious reception room.Edelman and Harry are alignment blocks. Byrd, Olszewski and Meyers also watch well after Sanu’s release, which can open the door for Ross or Thomas to also break the 53-player list.
The fact that Byrd, Olszewski, Meyers or Ross own Week 1, however, paints a grim picture of the Patriots’ broad receivers.The Patriots were once one of the weakest away teams in the NFL, and are now wasting one of the few veteran functions they had.
The Patriots’ resolve to eliminate Sanu, who was acquired for a second-round selection in 2020 on last year’s industry deadline, frees up $6.5 million, which they can spend now or postpone until the next off-season when the pay cap is reduced.Patriots have more than $37 million in ceiling space, according to cap expert Miguel Benzan, or @PatsCap on Twitter.
Patriots deserve to be active in obtaining a veteran receiver through waivers, industry, or loose will in this weekend’s list cuts.Players like Byrd, Olszewski, Meyers, Ross and Thomas have traits, but apart from Edelman, 34, the Patriots.The receiver organization lacks something safe for rookie quarterback Cam Newton.
Harry hit 12 passes for 105 yards with two rookie landings in 2019.Byrd provided speed but jammed 32 passes for 359 yards with a landing last season as catcher No.Three of the Arizona Cardinals.Meyers put in 26 passes for 359 yards and Olszewski put in two passes for 34 yards last year as uns recruited rookies.Ross, Thomas, Zuber and Baccellia have never caught a pass in a regular-season game.
The Patriots don’t have a shown pass receiver at tight end either, and rookies Dalton Keene and Devin Asiasi and 2018 seventh-round pick Ryan Izzo are expected to fill the intensity board at that position. after spending his rookie season on reserves injured.
Newton would possibly have to rely heavily on his ball carriers, the most powerful of the Patriots’ position-building capacity groups.James White is one of the 3 most sensitive defenders in the NFL and Rex Burkhead has also proven to be a reliable receiver.In addition, Lamar Miller has 209 career receptions in seven NFL seasons, and Damien Harris, a third-round out in 2019, has shown comfortable hands on the educational field.Georgia as a first-round pick in 2018, however, it has only 19 receptions in two seasons.
For the third year in a row, the Patriots superficially look at the catchers at the end of the summer, and this may be their worst liberator organization since 2006.They changed to Josh Gordon in 2018 and signed Antonio Brown in 2019 to verify.to make things right … Time will tell if they will be so desperate as the 2020 season approaches.Frankly, with the organization they have, they review everything and explore all the features to consolidate the vast receiver framework.
