A recent ESPN report claimed that David Montgomery wants to leave the Detroit Lions, which he quickly denied, asking for the source of the rumor. Montgomery, who had 158 carries for 716 yards and eight touchdowns in 2025, expressed his surprise at the speculation, especially given his role as a complement to emerging star Jahmyr Gibbs. The report suggested that the Lions might be open to trading Montgomery for a reasonable price. Despite his diminished role, Montgomery clarified that any potential move isn’t at his request.
