Former Falcons WR Mohamed Sanu Announces NFL Retirement After Decade

The Atlanta Falcons recently signed Parker Romo to their 53-man roster, releasing longtime Pro Bowl kicker Younghoe Koo due to Koo's significant drop in field goal accuracy this season. Romo, who had been cut by the New England Patriots, impressed in his debut with the Falcons by making all five field goals, including a 54-yarder, leading to the team's victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Meanwhile, Mohamed Sanu, a versatile wide receiver known for his time with the Bengals, Falcons, and Patriots, officially announced his retirement after a decade-long NFL career. Sanu highlighted his years in Atlanta, where he played a key role alongside Julio Jones during the Falcons' Super Bowl 51 run, and expressed gratitude for his career while planning to pursue coaching and podcasting. His post-Falcons career included stints with New England, San Francisco, and Detroit, but injuries and team changes limited his playing time in later years. Sanu's retirement caps a career with 435 receptions, 4,871 receiving yards, and 27 touchdowns, leaving a legacy as a dependable and multidimensional player.
