RB Montgomery to Lions

The Detroit Lions and former Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery reached an agreement on a three-year, $18 million deal, including $11 million guaranteed, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday. With Montgomery departing, the Bears signed former Seattle Seahawks running back Travis Homer to a two-year deal worth a maximum of $4.5 million, according to his agent, Spencer Cannold. Montgomery, 25, joins a Lions running back corps that scored a league-leading 23 rushing touchdowns last season, including a league-best 17 by Jamaal Williams and five by D'Andre Swift. Williams enters this offseason as an unrestricted free agent while Swift remains under contract through 2023, on the final year of his rookie deal. In a loaded class of free agent running backs, Montgomery had the 10th-most rushing yards (801) and was fifth in receiving yards (316) of those players. He generated his highest yards per catch (9.3) in 2022 and recorded his first receiving touchdown since his second season in Chicago.
