Per Aaron Wilson, the Texans have adjusted RB David Montgomery‘s contract as expected.
Montgomery’s new two-year deal is worth $16.5 million and includes a $6.5 million signing bonus, $1.5 million in guaranteed salary, and up to $500,000 in per-game active-roster bonuses.
For 2027, the deal has a $7.5 million salary, including $2 million guaranteed and $500,000 in per-game active-roster bonuses.
Montgomery, 28, was drafted by the Bears in the third round out of Iowa State in 2019. He played out his four-year rookie contract worth $4.015 million and was allowed to walk as a free agent by Chicago.
The Lions signed Montgomery to a three-year, $18 million deal before signing him to a two-year, $18.25 million extension. He was due base salaries of $5.49 million and $7.49 million in the final two years of that deal when Detroit traded him to the Texans for OL Juice Scruggs and draft picks.
In 2025, Montgomery appeared in 17 games for the Lions and rushed for 716 yards on 158 carries (4.5 YPC) and eight touchdowns to go along with 24 receptions for 192 yards.
