The Miami Dolphins know your whole team can’t be made up of running backs. Right? Chase Edmonds truthers took another hit this offseason when the Dolphins signed free agent running back Sony Michel.
Sony Michel to sign with Miami Dolphins
Michel has now signed with the Miami Dolphins after spending the last half of the 2021 season with the Los Angeles Rams on the way to a Super Bowl victory. The former Patriots’ RB is now set to join what will be one of the deeper running back rooms in the league, one that already contains Chase Edmonds and Raheem Mostert. With the other two running back’s injury problems, the Dolphins may have signed Michel more as an insurance play. Still, it’s a crowded situation and one that likely hampers each of the rusher’s value.

Rapid Reaction to the Signing
A buying opportunity for Edmonds?
Andrew Erickson chimed in with his rapid reaction to the signing:
I didn’t move Edmonds in my rankings because I think it’s more of a move in regards to 30-year-old “never stays healthy” Raheem Mostert versus a hit to Edmonds’ value.
