The 49ers will release wide receiver Mohamed Sanu, as Ian Rapoport of NFL.com tweets. With Deebo Samuel and Richie James on the mend, the Niners will shift their focus to their younger targets. Meanwhile, Sanu is now available for teams in need of an experienced receiver. 
Sanu joined the Niners just a few weeks ago on a deal worth just over the veteran’s minimum. The former Bengals, Falcons, and Patriots wideout reunited with former Falcons coach Kyle Shanahan, but the party didn’t last long. Sanu suited up for three games, but he leaves SF with just one catch for nine yards from their Week 2 romp over the Giants.
The 31-year-old didn’t impress in his eight regular season games (six starts) with the Patriots last year, either. He finished out with 26 grabs (on 47 targets) for 207 yards and one score. Then, he was invisible during New England’s playoff loss to the Titans as he caught just one pass for eleven yards. Although he’s accomplished and experienced, the Niners are far more fixated on the acrobatics of rookie Brandon Aiyuk and the rest of the bunch.
In 2018, Sanu turned in perhaps the best performance of his career, catching 66 passes for 838 yards and four TDs with the Falcons. He might not be able to reprise that performance, but he will try to get a bit closer to that.
I could see the Jets bringing him back to NJ. Even with Perriman and Mims coming back, they’re desperate.
If Sanu signs with the Jets, he could find himself as their best healthy QB option at some point.
He was actually pretty good at throwing downfield on trick plays (for those who haven’t seen much of Sanu’s career).
Welcome to Philadelphia
I could see him in GB
Sanu had always been a strong blocker in Atlanta and Cincinnati, which may actually help his case in Green Bay as a veteran emergency option.
Go get him Packers
Eagles would be nice. There’s a need and they are leading the NFC East.
He sucks
