Overview
- Speaking during Pro Bowl week, Gibbs said he wants Montgomery back and will support him 100 percent regardless of what he decides.
- GM Brad Holmes said in January the team will have conversations about Montgomery’s future and acknowledged a trade could be a realistic outcome.
- Montgomery’s 2025 usage fell to career lows with 182 touches for 908 yards and a late-season run of single-digit carries in six straight games.
- Montgomery said new offensive coordinator Drew Petzing told him he wants him involved, as Petzing’s past offenses have often leaned on a primary back.
- Montgomery is set for a $5.49 million 2026 base salary with $1.75 million guaranteed, and Over The Cap projects modest dead money with cap savings in a trade; he remains on the roster with no formal move yet as offseason talks near.
