vike daddy Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 The Lions moved quickly at the start of free agency to agree to terms with running back David Montgomery, and they may have been motivated in part to keep Montgomery away from a couple of division rivals. Montgomery also had offers to stay with the Bears or sign with the Vikings, according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune. Guaranteed money appears to be the difference, as Montgomery’s three-year, $18 million contract with the Lions includes both $8.75 million fully guaranteed at signing at $2.25 million fully guaranteed if he’s on the Lions’ roster on the third day of the 2024 league year. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2023/04/03/bears-and-vikings-also-made-offers-to-david-montgomery-before-lions-signed-him/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swede700 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 It may have been indicative of the Vikings moving on from Dalvin, but I'm glad it didn't happen. I've never been impressed by Montgomery. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a matter of when and how much compensation. I would like to see a decent return this year, but 2024 draft picks would be cool, too. Maybe both!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelKing728 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 I think its going to be a draft day trade. I'm guessing we only get a 3rd for him, but I'll take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 3rd round or Day 3 pick? I'm fully expecting it to be no more than a Day 3 pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good value for him I imagine. Back in the day, we probably could have got a first for him lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see a 5th this year and a conditional 4th next year that could go as high as a 2nd if the team trading for him reaches a conference championship and he's on the roster or something like that.

vikesfan89 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 How much of his contract would the Vikings be paying? I'd be surprised if we got a 4th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
