The Lions sent veteran RB David Montgomery to the Texans in exchange for a draft pick. Montgomery, who turns 29 this June, had a reduced role in 2023 after the emergence of Jahmyr Gibbs.
The move frees roughly $3.5 million in salary‑cap room for Detroit, though the team will need to find a replacement. Montgomery’s departure follows a season where he posted career lows in rushing yards and touches.
