"Detroit has reached an agreement to add running back Isiah Pacheco as a replacement for David Montgomery after the Lions traded Jahmyr Gibbs' backup before free agency started. Pacheco spent his first four seasons in the running back rotation with the Kansas City Chiefs, who agreed to a $45 million, three-year deal with Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III in the opening hours of free agency."
"Pacheco rushed for 2,537 yards and 14 touchdowns over four seasons with the Chiefs, helping them win two Super Bowls. Montgomery, who no longer wanted to play behind Gibbs, was sent to the Houston Texans for offensive lineman Juice Scruggs along with fourth- and seventh-round draft picks."
"The Chiefs also agreed to a $24.5 million, three-year deal with former Baltimore safety Alohi Gilman and an $11 million, two-year contract with receiver Tyquan Thornton, who emerged as perhaps their best deep threat during a 6-11 season that ended a 10-year playoff streak."
The Detroit Lions acquired running back Isiah Pacheco from the Kansas City Chiefs as a replacement following David Montgomery's trade to the Houston Texans. Montgomery, unwilling to remain as Gibbs' backup, was traded for offensive lineman Juice Scruggs and draft picks. Pacheco accumulated 2,537 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns over four seasons with Kansas City, contributing to two Super Bowl victories. Meanwhile, the Chiefs signed safety Alohi Gilman and receiver Tyquan Thornton to new contracts. The Green Bay Packers added cornerback Benjamin St-Juste while planning to release Nate Hobbs. These transactions occurred during the opening of NFL free agency, with official status pending the new league year.
