Ryan Poles provides a significant revelation regarding the process of David Montgomery's contract talks.
The departure of running back David Montgomery, who signed a three-year contract with the Detroit Lions, was the Chicago Bears' most significant loss in free agency.
Although it was not unexpected, general manager Ryan Poles expressed his desire to re-sign Montgomery to strengthen the team's backfield.
However, as demonstrated by the situation with former Bears linebacker Roquan Smith, it takes more than just wanting to keep a player on the team. Ultimately, professional sports are a business.
In a press conference at the NFL owners meetings on Monday, General Manager Ryan Poles stated that he believed the Chicago Bears were on the brink of re-signing David Montgomery.
Ryan Poles said to Chicago Bears.com:
The Chicago Bears not only suffered the loss of David Montgomery, but they also face the added disadvantage of him joining their NFC North rivals, the Detroit Lions. This means that for the next three years, the Bears will have to contend with Montgomery twice a year.
Poles also mentions:
The Chicago Bears made significant changes to their running backs roster in the free agency period by acquiring D'Onta Foreman and Travis Homer. Foreman is expected to compete with Khalil Herbert for the starting position.
