Monty has one more year on his rookie deal and has been very solid for the Bears over the last two years. I can't wait to get him back in the lineup where the Bears will have a real 1-2 punch in Monty and Herbert. 
 
	Thru last week, with Monty missing a few games, their stats are very similar but they are completely different runners:
 
	Monty 69-309, 4.5 Y/A, 6-49.  
	Herbert 58-279, 4.8 Y/A, 7-48. 
 
	If Herbert keeps this up, and looks legit in a small sample size, the Bears will have to decide if they want to extend Monty, which seemed like a no-brainer just a few weeks ago. Now, I don't know. If Herbert is running this good and you can bring in a true fullback, it might be more cost-effective to let Monty walk as not many 2nd RB contracts have been working out lately. 
 
	If you want to keep Monty, what do you believe would be a fair contract for both sides? McCaffrey leads with $16M APY. The bottom end of the 2nd contract guys is around $12M with Aaron Jones. The 2nd Tier is a guy like Melvin Gordon that got $8M APY who comps very similar to Montgomery at the same age.  RB seems risky due to injury outside of a guy like Henry. 
	 
	Thoughts?
