The Detroit Lions and running back David Montgomery have agreed on a two-year, $18.25 million contract extension, which includes $10.5 million in new guaranteed money, per sources including Adam Schefter. This extension ties Montgomery to the Lions through the 2027 season. Montgomery, who initially signed a three-year, $18 million deal with Detroit, has proven to be a valuable asset to the team's dynamic backfield. Despite the Lions drafting Jahmyr Gibbs in the first round last year, Montgomery has secured another deal, solidifying his role alongside Gibbs. The Lions are currently sixth in the league in rushing, averaging 151.3 yards per game, with both Montgomery and Gibbs ranking in the top 20 in rushing yards.
