Who Should I Start? Ty Montgomery or Parris Campbell

Friday, December 8, 7:36 PM

The New England Patriots waived running back/wide receiver Ty Montgomery on Friday, a day after their Thursday night upset win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. In Week 14, Montgomery was only on the field for a total of six offensive snaps and caught one pass for 17 yards on two targets in the 21-18 win. The 30-year-old veteran had a mere three rushing attempts for nine yards and five catches on 12 targets for 40 yards in his 13 games with the Patriots this year. Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) is expected to miss some more time with a high-ankle sprain, leaving Ezekiel Elliott as their lead back moving forward. He'll be backed up by JaMycal Hasty and Kevin Harris with Montgomery now out of the picture in New England.

Former New York Giants wide receiver Parris Campbell reached an agreement on an undisclosed one-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday, according to sources. Campbell had a career-high 623 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 63 receptions in his fourth and final year with the Indianapolis Colts in 2022 before joining the Giants in 2023. He disappointed with the G-Men, catching only 20 of 27 targets for 104 yards and no touchdowns in 12 games (three starts) last year. The 26-year-old former second-round pick by the Colts in 2019 out of Ohio State will head to Philadelphia and could start out of the slot for the Eagles in 2024 behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. Still, with tight end Dallas Goedert heavily involved as a pass-catcher in this offense, Campbell will be the team's fourth receiving option, at best.
