Show Notes
The Detroit Lions traded running back David Montgomery to the Houston Texans, acquiring a fourth-round and seventh-round draft pick, and center Juice Scruggs. This move ends months of speculation around Montgomerys future with the team. Montgomery, who served as a backup to Jahmyr Gibbs, was frustrated with reduced carries. The Lions, who wanted a fifth-round pick initially, now have better draft capital and lineup help. They need to find a new backup and prepare for the draft. Montgomery, who sought a change, joins the Texans as their lead runner, bringing proven toughness and durability to their backfield.
