Isiah Pacheco News
Tuesday, March 10, 9:18 AM
The Detroit Lions are signing free-agent running back Isiah Pacheco to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday, a source told Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. Pacheco will essentially replace David Montgomery, who was traded to the Houston Texans, as the backfield complement to starter Jahmyr Gibbs in Detroit. The 27-year-old former seventh-rounder in 2022 out of Rutgers had 1,765 rushing yards and 12 rushing touchdowns on 375 carries for the Chiefs in his first two years in the league, but injuries slowed him down the last two years, as he had a combined 772 rushing yards and only two rushing TDs on 201 carries in 2024 and 2025. The landing spot with the Lions is certainly a good one for a potential bounce-back campaign for Pacheco in his fifth year in the league, and he won't cost much late in drafts this fall as a handcuff for Gibbs.

Bhayshul Tuten News
Tuesday, March 10, 5:36 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten appears to have benefited from the first day of the NFL's legal tampering window, watching former teammate Travis Etienne Jr. agree to a four-year deal with the New Orleans Saints and leaving him presently atop the depth chart. With most of the bigger-name free agent backs already finding new homes in the first 24 hours of open negotiation, and the Jaguars likely picking too late in the draft to add an impactful Day 1 rookie, Tuten has a strong chance to enter his second season as the team's number one option out of the backfield. Currently joining him on the depth chart are 2025 seventh-round pick LeQuint Allen, who spent much of his rookie year relegated to special teams, handling only 23 rushing attempts, and seventh-year journeyman DeeJay Dallas.
