Breaking: Detroit Lions Extend David Montgomery through 2027

It was announced late Saturday afternoon that David Montgomery signed a two-year, $18.25 million extension with the Detroit Lions to keep him through the 2027 season. Ever since joining the Lions, Montgomery has been a crucial part of their attack. He is on track to carry for over 1000 yards this season after doing so in his last season.

Montgomery was set to become a free agent after the 2025 season, and many were expecting the Lions to let him walk with the emergence of Jahmyr Gibbs, but it looks like they love what they provide as a duo. The combination of David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs has proven successful for the Lions, and it appears the duo is here to stay.

What This Means for the Future Of The Detroit Lions

The duo David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs looks like it’s here to stay. Each amassed more than 1000 scrimmage yards in the previous season, and this year is predicted to be no different. Montgomery has been Detroit’s main running back since signing with the team in 2023, relieving a lot of load on Jared Goff and the offense. In 18 games with the Detroit Lions, Montgomery has totaled 17 touchdowns as the Lions’ primary goalline back. A big reason for his success is the offensive line the Detroit Lions have. Led by All-Pros Penei Sewell and Frank Ragnow, the Lions have the best offensive line in the NFL.

Montgomery takes the pressure off Gibbs and allows for both running backs to stay healthy year-round. The NFL’s top running back duo, Gibbs and Montgomery, have proven themselves this season, and with both players still improving, the Detroit Lions might ride this duo to the Super Bowl.
