In an odd world, the Detroit Lions could consider unloading on one of the talents as they have trade chip running back, David Montgomery, who may receive interest from teams this upcoming offseason. According to Bleacher Report , it’s no surprise that the source named Montgomery as the best trade piece apart from their roster, since there is no way that they’re shipping Jahmyr Gibbs . However, Montgomery could be the latest victim of a trade at some rate, and the source believes it may happen after the 2025 season. It’s all hypothetical for now since he hasn’t been in any trade rumors since joining the Lions in 2023.
Lions Superstar David Montgomery Could Be “Trade Chip” After 2025 Season
It wouldn’t be the first time Montgomery would join a new team since spending the first few years with the Chicago Bears. After finishing off his rookie deal in Chicago, the running back joined their rival, the Lions, and became the main contributor to Detroit’s ground game. Despite that, Gibbs came into the equation and formed one of the most ferocious running back duos in the league, becoming the first pair of players in NFL history to combine for 1,000 yards. If it came down to deciding on which they would extend in the future, they might be more lenient to give Gibbs a long-term deal, given his age.
This leaves Montgomery on the back burner. The trade itself is a long shot, but it’s still a fun one to discuss. Detroit probably would only consider dealing him if it came down to getting a starting cornerback in return, which they’ve dealt with multiple injuries in their secondary, and also a first-round pick. For the sake of this article, here are three dream teams for Montgomery.
