David Montgomery is becoming an offseason trade candidate for the Lions, and this proposal would be hard to turn away from.
When John Morton was hired to replace Ben Johnson as the Detroit Lions' offensive coordinator, a shift in the backfield workload split was somewhat easy to foresee. In a general way, leaning toward the younger and more dynamic Jahmyr Gibbs over David Montgomery made sense.
To say the idea of Gibbs becoming the Lions' clear lead running back has come to fruition is an understatement.
