MIAMI -- Former New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams running back Sony Michel has agreed to a one-year deal with the Miami Dolphins, a league source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Monday, adding another name to an already deep backfield.
The deal is worth $2.1 million, the source said.
Michel, 27, will be the third running back to sign with Miami this offseason, joining Raheem Mostert and Chase Edmonds. The Dolphins already have Myles Gaskin on their roster and tendered Salvon Ahmed, as well.
The Dolphins could use a boost to their rushing offense after finishing 30th in rushing yards in 2021. They also finished with the third-fewest average yards before contact and the seventh-fewest average yards after contact in the league.
