The trade interest in Sony Michel apparently was not limited to the Los Angeles Rams.
With top running back Cam Akers sidelined for the entire 2021 season, the Rams addressed their need at the position Wednesday when they traded for Michel. But as ESPN’s Adam Schefter explained, as seen during NESN’s broadcast of the WEEI/NESN Jimmy Fund Radio-Telethon, the New England Patriots received offers from other teams before ultimately dealing Michel to LA.
“…People around the league knew that the Patriots had a surplus of running backs because they really like Damien Harris,” Schefter said, as transcribed by WEEI.
