There were guys like Duke Johnson or Adrian Peterson sitting in free agency for Los Angeles to sign without losing any draft picks.
While adding another running back was going to happen, waiting to sign someone that was released during the final wave of roster cuts would have sufficed. But with an injury to Raymond Calais, and Henderson dealing with a minor injury of his own, Les Snead didn’t waste time finding a depth option in Michel. is going to be tasked with being the lead back on the Rams, which isn’t going to change with the presence of Michel. Let me preface everything by saying that adding another running back to the roster was inevitable once Cam Akers went down with a season-ending Achilles injury.ĭarrell Henderson Jr. Within the trade, the Rams will be sending a 2022 sixth-round pick and 2023 fourth-round pick to the Patriots – which is different than the original compensation that was reported. I’ve been able to gather my thoughts on the trade and let me just say – *proceeds to take a deep breath* – after seeing what the Rams gave up for Michel, and who Michel is at this point of his career, I’m not a fan of the move for Los Angeles.
The move itself has gotten mostly positive reviews from people knowledgeable about the situation (including my colleague, Cameron DaSilva). We’ve now had over 24 hours to process the trade that sent Sony Michel to the Los Angeles Rams from the New England Patriots.
