Grade New England Patriots sign RB Myles Montgomery
Your grade joins the crowd-sourced Fan Verdict.
Patriots add depth at running back with an undrafted free agent signing from UCF. Multiple outlets highlight Montgomery's competitive character and work ethic as key attributes. UDFA status signals he's a camp body competing for roster spots, not a solution. Fans see this as typical New England depth-building rather than a meaningful upgrade. Montgomery will compete in training camp for practice squad or reserve role consideration.
This signing grades out as a slight overpay for the New England Patriots — the team is getting approximately what they're paying for in on-field production. Myles's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL RBs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.0M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the RB market. The production lines up closely with the price tag — unproven production at bargain money, which is essentially paying fair market value. Myles is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The 3-year, $3.1M contract with $273K guaranteed (9%) represents a moderate investment with room to exit if needed.
