General manager Ryan Poles made a public overture to keep running back David Montgomery on Tuesday — but it’s unclear if he’ll pay him accordingly.
The Bears’ fourth-year running back is at the end of his rookie deal.
“I’ve always wanted to keep David,” Poles said. “I love his mentality, how he plays the game. I told him that to his face. He’s part of the identity that we had this year that kept us competitive.”
That alone won’t get a deal done.
