Rams RFA RB Benny Cunningham Visiting Patriots

Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reports that Rams RFA RBย Benny Cunningham is visiting with the Patriots on Thursday.

Los Angeles used a low-round tender onย Cunningham in recent days.

Should a team sign Cunningham to an offer sheet, the Ramsย would have five days to match the offer, or they would lose him.

The low-round tender will cost the Broncos ย $1,671,000 for the 2016 seasonย and give them theย right of first refusal on any contract offer theyย receive. However, if they elect to not match an offer sheet, Denverย would not receive anyย compensation forย him.

Cunningham, 25, wound up signing on with the Rams as an undrafted free agent out of Middle Tennessee State back in 2013. He’s managed to make the 53-man roster each of his three years in the NFL.

In 2015, Cunningham appeared in all 16 games for the Rams and ran for 140 yards on 37 carries to go along with 26 receptions for 250 yards receiving and no touchdowns.
