[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 784424"] That's the thing. If he has a modestly productive season as a complementary player his price tag will be low. Continuing in that role at a modest price would be possible, but not a high priority item on the "to do" list. His blocking is poor which limits his utility as a 3-down running back; he's shined most when catching out of the backfield and slot. The position with the easiest transition from college to pros is the running back and decent role players can be found fairly deep into the draft. Consider Starks' last contract coming off his 2015 season where he led the team in yards from scrimmage with nearly 1.000 yards run+catch. That earned him a 2 year deal for a total of $5.2 mil with only the $1.5 mil signing bonus guaranteed. We don't expect 1,000 yards out of Montgomery, do we? Starks' 2015 season was unusual for him, staying relatively healthy throughout. 16 games played in 2014 and 2015 looked like he might have turned the corner on his chronic injury history, dating back to college where his draft value dropped like a rock. It was not to be. Given Montgomery's injury history, with him already off to a bad start on that count, the odds are he'll be an off-and-on role player. [/QUOTE]
