Herbert led all NFL running backs at 5.7 yards per carry last season.

One of the few mainstays the Bears had left is leaving. Running back David Montgomery agreed to a three-year, $18 million deal with the Lions on Tuesday, NFL Network reported.

Former general manager Ryan Pace drafted Montgomery in the third round in 2019, and he ran for 3,609 yards and 26 touchdowns in four seasons. He also caught 155 passes for 1,240 yards and four touchdowns.

In 61 games, including playoffs, he rushed for 100 yards eight times. He had 24 games of fewer than 50 yards.
