Texans Trade for Montgomery, Broncos Stay Patient

0:00On March 2nd, the Houston Texans just traded for Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery, sending over a fourth-round pick, offensive lineman, juice grugs, and a 2027 seventh-round pick. Montgomery turns 29 this season, and the Broncos know they need to boost their running back spot ahead of the 2026 off season. This deal gives the Lions' solid value, including a potential starting lineman and extra draft picks, which shows how much the Texans wanted him. And Montgomery averaged five yards per touch last year, but had a down season overall. Broncos' fans can breathe easier now, as chasing an aging vet like this could have been a big mistake. General manager George Patton likely would not have overpaid anyway, especially with Montgomery's heavy career workload topping 1,000-7 hundred touches. The Texans panicked after Joe Mixen's injury issues, and a weak run game that hurt them late last season. Meanwhile, Denver has plenty of draft ammo, like their top three picks this year and more in the 4th round.
