For the people up to date on the cap, and rule signings, I 'heard' that by signing him after game 1 he doesn't have a guarantee? So basically if he stinks or Deebo and Aiyuk get better soon, we could drop him without taking a hit ?

Absolutely this. Sanu is definitely an all out type player both in the pass and run game.
That grizzled veteran can contribute from simply being present and providing the youngsters with leadership through example.
Oh no question bro, this dude oozes the leadership and example part of the equation

I would love to go back to the day we got Sanders and everyone b***hing about getting him and not Sanu lol. Or b***hing about him doing nothing in Denver.
He's not a stud, neither is Sanders...good vets that can help the team.

Agreed. And this team has some very young WRs who benefitted last year from Sanders' leadership and they'll now benefit from Sanu's leadership - this year that includes Aiyuk.

Now I wonder if he'll even see the field Sunday??
Why wouldn't he? I mean he's gotta pass a physical (which I'm assuming he has).
He's already flying out as we speak

He really didnt fit that NE offense, no creativeness or nothing. He was the only receiver that could make a play. Go back and look at him with the falcons. He was better than Julio some days
I'm not interested in what he did as a Falcon years ago on a loaded offense. I am interested in what he could provide to OUR team. He was just cut from a team that desperately needs WRs, and the team said they did that because he never healed from his injury.
So why are you worried about what he did on the Patriots? As usual, your arguments are invalid and all over the place lol

6'2" WR who knows kyles system, savy vet, i like the signing, he can hold down the fort until deebo and aiyuk return.

Bro the guy asked us if we ever seen him play before and is trying to get us to watch Atlanta film. Whats a better indicator of how good he is? What he did recently or years ago?

We don't really know if JG's receivers weren't getting open as people on here claim (don't know how they know this without all22) but Sanu should theoretically help with that. pic.twitter.com/Vs1f2gh913

How is this argument invalid or all over the place? He sucked last year, got hurt, and then the team (aWR needy team) cut him and said he never got healthy.
Invalid and all over the place. TF?

I mean did you watch NE games? I did (based on where I live and friends).
Brady wasn't Brady last yr. Sanu can still play, I'm not expecting Julio Jones or something.
I do think 49ers90sBaby might be a closet ATL fan lol

This. He's not replacing Sanders, he's replacing Pettis/Taylor. Anyone who thinks it's not worth a shot is delusional.

Hopefully, Sanu can be that #1 for us, until Deebo gets back.
