At the NFL owners meetings, Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes went into a little more detail on why the team couldn’t come to an agreement with running back Jamaal Williams and, instead, had to turn their attention to free agent David Montgomery instead.
“We tried,” Holmes said. “But when the market crystallized and it got to a point where David was in play kind of within the range of resources that we had set aside (for Williams), that’s when we went ahead and went for it with David, which we’re extremely excited about.
