The Facts: Jets are signing Montgomery to a one-year deal, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Diehards Line:The Jets already employ Eli McGuire and Trenton Cannon behind star dual-threat Le'Veon Bell, but have remained in the market for potential backups and Montgomery is now expected to be that primary backup. ... A former receiver turned running back, Montgomery saw his playing time dwindle down the stretch in Green Bay before he was ultimately shipped out of town. During his run with the Packers, Montgomery compiled 177 rushes for 849 yards and seven touchdowns while catching 97 passes for 827 yards and three TDs. He did a stint with Baltimore late last season. The Dolphins were also interested in Montgomery.
