Bears Want To Bring Back David Montgomery
2 years agoChicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles spoke publicly about impending free agent David Montgomery, saying that he wants the running back to return. "I've always wanted to keep David," Poles said, via Alyssa Barbieri of Bears Wire. "I love his mentality, how he plays the game. I told him that to his face. He's part of the identity that we had this year that kept us competitive." Montgomery showed flashes of dominance in 2022 but was ultimately overshadowed by Justin Fields' elite rushing ability. Thus, if Montgomery and Fields both return in 2023, the former would likely rank as a low-end RB2 heading into fantasy drafts. The rise of No. 2 running back Khalil Herbert can't be ignored, either.
