Sanu has poor hands, and is slower than most of the TE's on the roster. In short, Sanu is nothing special. Wayne is a consumate pro, and while long in the tooth, would provide Dalton with excellent route running and excellent hands. At the vet minimum or near enough, he wouldn't be expensive either.
This shows how little you actually pay attention to Wayne and Sanu.
Sanu had 9 drops in 2014. Wayne had 9 drops in 2014.
Sanu had only 8 less receptions than Wayne.
Sanu also had a higher percentage number of targeted passes caught. 57.1% to 55.2%.
Sanu had more yards (790 to 779) and more touchdowns (5 to 2) and less fumbles (0 to 1) than Wayne did last year.
Yes, Wayne was targeted 18 more times, but let's not act like he's what he once was.
Also, Sanu is faster than every tight end on this team. Even if you look at 40 times.
Sanu: 4.67
Eifert: 4.68
Kroft: 4.75
Not sure what CJ's was, as he doesn't have an official time. But even so, Sanu is faster than those tight ends who are certainly going to be playing.
Also, Sanu is not the fastest guy, but he can make spectacular catches and is great with yards after the catch. In fact, Sanu had more yards last year than Jones did in 2013 (granted Jones had more touchdowns).
So no. Wayne wouldn't start over Sanu and we shouldn't sign him.
