The New England Patriots upgraded the talent and depth of their wide receiver corps Tuesday by trading for Mohamed Sanu in a deal with the Atlanta Falcons, and quarterback Tom Brady reportedly played a role in making the move happen.
NFL Media's Mike Garafolo reported Sunday on NFL Network that Brady "was a big factor" in the Sanu trade.
"But Mohamed Sanu, the acquisition of him last week, I am told by several sources that Brady really pushed for that one," Garafolo said. "So, the Patriots were willing to give up a second-round pick to get Sanu in, a guy that Brady was eager to have inside the building there and knows will be integral in the offense.
