Patriots seeking weapon for Cam Newton before NFL trade deadline

The Patriots know they’ll need to give Cam Newton a weapon to work with in order to stay competitive this season.

And that’s why New England is in the market for a pass catcher, CBS Sports reported Sunday.

It’s been just over a year since the Pats dealt a second-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft to the Falcons for wide receiver Mohamed Sanu, who never really got going in New England before he got hurt and had to be released.

Sanu pulled down one reception for 11 yards in the Patriots’ 20-13 loss to the Titans in the Wild Card round last season, which came after Sanu’s 26 receptions, 207 receiving yards and one touchdown in eight regular-season games with the Patriots.
