Detroit Lions, running back Isiah Pacheco agree to one-year deal
- A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that the Lions agreed to add Isiah Pacheco to pair with Jahmyr Gibbs, with NFL Network reporting the deal on Tuesday.
- After trading David Montgomery last week, the Lions moved to fill the vacancy in the backfield; Montgomery went to the Houston Texans for two draft picks and Juice Scruggs.
- Isiah Pacheco, 27, a seventh-round pick, produced 462 yards at 3.9 yards per carry last season despite injuries like a fractured fibula.
- Adding Pacheco strengthens Detroit's offensive focus and depth up front, continuing their early free-agent push that included signing Cade Mays and Larry Borom on Monday.
- Neither the Montgomery trade nor the Pacheco signing can become official until the new league year opens at 4 p.m. Wednesday, after teams began negotiating at Noon Monday during the legal tampering period.
