Bears sign RB after losing David Montgomery in free agency
The Chicago Bears are solidifying depth at running back with its latest signing.
The Chicago Bears added depth at running back after losing David Montgomery to the Detroit Lions in free agency.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Chicago signed RB Travis Homer to a two-year deal on Tuesday.
Formerly of the Seattle Seahawks, Homer has compiled 83 rushes for 453 yards, adding 52 receptions for 464 yards and three total touchdowns in his four-year career.
Homer was a depth piece at running back, though he played a significant role on special team. Homer even has experience returning kickoffs. He had 18 career kickoff returns for 444 yards (24.7 YPR) and this 44-yard touchdown return on an onside kick in 2022.
Homer’s pass-catching skills out of the backfield and special teams expertise will help him carve out a role in Chicago.
