The New England Patriots had made only one outside acquisition over the first four days of free agency week, but added a second on Thursday. The team is signing running back/wide receiver Ty Montgomery to a two-year contract worth up to $4 million, as first reported by CBS Sports’ Josina Anderson.
Montgomery, 29, originally entered the NFL as a third-round draft pick by the Green Bay Packers in 2015. Spending the first three-and-a-half seasons of his career in Green Bay, Montgomery proved himself a productive and versatile member of the Packers’ offense.
