unrestricted free agency. As such, it makes sense that Miami would target him on a short-term deal like this one, allowing them to
keep an eye on him and possibly give him an extension at some point down the line, should he produce as expected in South

Michel will join Kenyan Drake as new additions to Miami’s backfield. The former Patriots first-round pick was used a lot as a
pass catcher in New England, which should make him a good fit for Adam Gase’s system. He also ran 4.54 40-yard dash at 222
