Mohamed Sanu became the second wide receiver to leave the Cincinnati Bengals this week in free agency after he reached a contract agreement with the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday.
According to NFL.com, Sanu’s deal is for five years at $32.5 million, with $14 million guaranteed.
Sanu follows fellow wideout Marvin Jones out of Cincinnati. On Wednesday, Jones accepted a deal with Detroit after the Lions lost wide receiver Calvin Johnson to retirement.
In four seasons with the Bengals, Sanu played in 57 games and started 34, totaling 152 receptions, 1,793 yards and 11 touchdowns.
Last season, Sanu saw action in all 16 regular-season games and had 33 catches for 394 yards and added 10 rushing attempts for 71 yards and two touchdowns.
In Atlanta, Sanu is expected to play opposite Julio Jones and step into the spot left by Roddy White, who was released last week by the Falcons as the team’s career receiving yardage leader.
Julio Jones led the NFL with 136 catches for 1,871 receiving yards last season.
