Running back David Montgomery has signed a two-year, $18.25 million extension that contractually ties him to the Detroit Lions through the 2027 season, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Saturday.
The deal includes $10.5 million in new guaranteed money, the source said. It makes him the seventh-highest-paid running back in the NFL based on new money per year ($9.125M).
The Lions announced the extension Saturday night but didn't disclose terms.
Montgomery, 27, had two years left on his current deal, but the Lions decided to lock in their one-two backfield punch of him and second-year back Jahmyr Gibbs early.
