Allen Park — The Detroit Lions are signing one of the top running backs on the free agency market, maybe just not the one everyone expected. The team reached an agreement with David Montgomery Tuesday night, according to a source familiar with the negotiations.
According to multiple reports, it's a three-year, $18 million deal for Montgomery, which includes $11 million guaranteed. The move almost certainly signifies the end of Jamaal Williams' time in Detroit.
Montgomery, 25, was a third-round pick out of Iowa State in 2019, spending his first four seasons with the Chicago Bears.
