Some news this morning as you wake up, former first-round pick Sony Michel is heading to LA for two late conditional draft picks (that can turn into a single fourth-rounder).
Not a big surprise here for me, given the buzz around the team’s depth at the position, and with Michel in the final year of his rookie deal, the Patriots clear off some space and get some future picks in return.
Michel never really reached the heights of his drafting position, unlike college team-mate Nick Chubb, who was drafted a whole round later than Michel and has become a franchise player for Cleveland.
Rapsheet gives an update on compensation here, stating that the fifth and six round conditional picks will likely become a fourth-rounder in due time, a fair trade in my opinion.
Here’s the cap update from Miguel at @Patscap as always.
