Detroit Lions land RB David Montgomery in free agency, say good-bye to Jamaal Williams
The Detroit Lions will have a new a workhorse in their backfield in 2023.
The Lions reached agreement on a three-year, $18 million contract with Chicago Bears free agent running back David Montgomery late Tuesday night, according to multiple reports.
Montgomery's signing, which can become official at 4 p.m. Wednesday, likely means the end of Jamaal Williams' time in Detroit.
Williams led the Lions with 1,066 yards rushing and the NFL with 17 rushing touchdowns last season. A fan favorite in Detroit, Williams became the first Lion to top 1,000 yards rushing since Reggie Bush in 2013 and broke Barry Sanders' franchise single-season touchdown record.
He said after the season he hoped to sign a long-term extension with the Lions, and the two sides met to discuss a new contract at the NFL combine earlier this month.In Montgomery, the Lions believe they upgraded their offense with one of the most productive and durable backs on the market.A third-round pick out of Iowa State in 2019, Montgomery topped 200 carries in each of his four seasons with the Bears. He ran for career-highs of 1,070 yards and eight touchdowns in 2020, topped 800 yards each of the past two seasons and has averaged 3.9 yards per carry on nearly 1,000 attempts for his career.
