David Montgomery Agrees to Contract Extension with Detroit Lions

The Detroit Lions have secured a key component of their offense by agreeing to a contract extension with running back David Montgomery. The extension, announced on October 12, 2024, will keep Montgomery with the Lions through the 2027 season.

According to reports, the extension is a two-year deal worth $18.25 million, ensuring Montgomery’s continued presence in the Lions’ lineup.
