The Detroit Lions and former Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery reached agreement on a three-year, $18 million deal, including $11 million guaranteed, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
In a loaded class of free-agent running backs, Montgomery generated the 10th-most rushing yards (801) and was fifth in receiving (316) yards 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.
Montgomery, 25, was drafted by former Bears general manager Ryan Pace with the 73rd overall pick in the third round of the 2019 NFL draft.
