80. Sony Michel, RB: Los Angeles Rams ➡️ Las Vegas Raiders

It was a little surprising to see Sony Michel in a list of the top 100 free agents in the NFL.

He was quite effective for the Los Angeles Rams this past season after being acquired in a trade, and as soon as the Rams made him their bell-cow back, the team started to really pick things up in the second half of the season.

Kenyan Drake is recovering from an injury and the new regime in Las Vegas is coming from New England where they once made Sony Michel a first-round draft pick.

Given the history between Michel and the new decision-makers in Las Vegas, I could see this pairing being one of the more obvious ones in 2022 NFL Free Agency.

79. Trenton Brown, OT: New England Patriots ➡️ New England Patriots

The Patriots need Trent Brown, and Trent Brown needs the Patriots.

Things did not work out for Brown with the Las Vegas Raiders, so they traded him back to New England.

That just seems to be a good spot for Brown. He stays in New England on a multi-year deal.
