Akers is out for the season, perfect trade destination for Michel?

[captain stone]

RBs are a dime a dozen in the NFL. The Rams will find one cheap if they don’t already have one on the roster. Harry isn’t worth a pack of gum. This trade scenario is laughable.

3rd-year (#70 overall of 2019 draft) Darrell Henderson is next man up there; and while he was good last season, I don't think he's built to carry the load like Cam Akers is/was...Lams should definitely be in the RB business now...

Sure, just trade Michel for a 5th and assume that all will remains healthy AND Taylor and Stevenson will be major contributors.

Cam is essentially another RB. Newton ran for 600 yards and 12 TDs.

I would not accept anything less than a 2nd and another lower pick for the great Georgia RB.

If you'd trade Michel for a 6th round pick, I don't want you anywhere near my team's decision-making.

I don't think they will deal Michel regardless of his contract situation, nor do I think that they will get his true value because he's just a rental for 2021. I think he's here through the end of his deal. I would not deal him for anything less than a third at this point, and no one is going to pay you a third for him. My 6th round pick for Harry and Michel was sarcasm. My response is based on that dealing a bust WR and a rental RB for a premium WR with a good contract was not realistic. This is keeping in mind there's a difference between premium and premier. I know how people love to parse words around here.

Harry is getting cut, and everyone here and in the NFL knows it. He has zero trade value, no matter what his agent says. Michel is going to get a raise next year, but not real RB1 type pay. So, would you trade Michel straight up for Kupp if you're the Rams? No way. Anything the Pats get for Harry is a bonus, but I believe he's going to get cut and sign for the league minimum somewhere if he's lucky. The rest of the noise from his agent: hype and spin in an effort to keep Harry on his rookie deal and perhaps get him paid better than the league min. Just one man's opinion, anyway.

Multiple underperforming players do not equal on really good player.

If the Rams are willing to trade Cupp for Sony Michel and N'Keal Harry, Les Snead would need to be fired right on the spot.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Although old AP is available. Gets you some depth behind Henderson.

And it also cost them 17.5 mill in dead cap to make that trade lol.

 

[BaconGrundleCandy]

Michel and Harry for a 6th seems about right.

Might be in the minority but I'm good with keeping Michel unless it's a really good offer (4th-5th). Give me the depth, solid RB2 > a late rounder.

I'd gladly take a 6th for Harry lol. I'd rather take a swing on someone else's bust though if there's any guys we liked in the draft that busted somewhere else.

I'd keep Sony around, he is a good insurance policy in case Harris misses time.

 

[lancerman]

I mean sure this trade works in a hypothetical world where the entire NFL is bending over backwards to do us a solid. But Michel is not worth Cupp. There’s a chance Michel gets cut due to overcrowding.

The Rams are less desperate at RB than we are at WR.

 

[Actual Pats Fan]

sb, I get your point, but with a rb depth chart of Harris, Michel, Stevenson, White, JJ Taylor and Bolden, it is pretty crowded and stacked. If there was ever a time to trade him and get something of value in return, if we can, I think now is the time. If we are just trading Sony for the sake of trading him, I would say no, let's keep him. We saw late last year that he can be very productive.

I like Sony but Bill's opinion is the only one that matters

The Rams are considered to be a superbowl favorite in the NFC.
Mcvay and Belichick have respect for one another.
How about Michel and Harry for Cooper Kupp?

How much time has Kupp missed? Seems like a lot.

Costanza would of done better than Caserio.
When issues of Metcalf wonderlic came up George would of quipped he can read.
We all know the biases of standardized tests.

Belichick would say these aren’t standardized tests these are his grades.

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

You really think the Rams would do that? Come on.

 

[Sciz]

So many trade proposals are unnecessarily complicated. The Rams make sense as a potential team to offer a draft pick for Michel if the Patriots make him available.

 

[Nunchucks]

Michel is a great 1b rb with Harris as 1a. Michel knows the system and most importantly he can pass block.

I expect Michel to be on the roster and would not be shocked if he is brought back next year.

 

[Hyped]

Thoughts:

1.) Let's see what Michel has....

2.) Let's see what Stevenson & Taylor have too...

3.) Bolden is a ST ace...he's sticking.

4.) Do the Rams even have draft picks to give us? I don't see any good players they have that would work?

 

[IllegalContact]

you think we're getting enough for Michel?

maybe we could get DeAndre Hopkins or Justin Jefferson
