The Detroit Lions have signed running back David Montgomery to a two-year contract extension worth $18.25 million, including $10.5 million in new guaranteed money, as reported by Adam Schefter on October 12, 2024. This extension ties Montgomery to the team through the 2027 season. Montgomery, who initially signed a three-year, $18 million deal with Detroit, has proven his value despite the team's recent drafting of Jahmyr Gibbs. The extension makes Montgomery the seventh highest-paid running back in the NFL based on new money per year. Montgomery has been a key part of the Lions' backfield and has shown strong chemistry with his teammates.
