UPDATE:
The Patriots have traded Sony Michel to the Rams.
Per Jourdan Rodriguez of TheAthletic.com, the Rams are sending 2022 fifth- and sixth-round draft picks to the Patriots.
Prior story…
Could the LA Rams go after Sony Michel?
With the New England Patriots being so deep at running back, it only makes sense to see what they can get for one of their many ball carriers.
Sony Michel, Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson are all solid backs who could probably see some serious playing time regardless of what team they’re on.
With that likely in mind, plus the fact that the Los Angeles Rams lost their running back Cam Akers for the season with a torn achilles, USA Today’s Henry McKenna thinks LA could be a potential trade partner with the Patriots for the former UGA running back.
This comes after the Rams lost another running back, Darrell Henderson, to injury.
Sony Michel probably looking REALLY appealing to the Rams about now. https://t.co/lnP9HGNOTR

Former Georgia Bulldogs running back Sony Michel has looked good so far for the New England Patriots this preseason. Michel battled a quad injury and missed time last season. Michel finished with only 449 rushing yards in 2020, but averaged an impressive 5.7 yards per carry.
