The Chicago Bears are expected to sign former Seattle Seahawks backup running back Travis Homer to a two-year deal.
Homer will serve as a backup to presumptive starter Khalil Herbert, who thrived in his first year under Luke Getsy. With Montgomery gone, Homer should fill the role of providing solid pass protection and a receiving option out of the backfield for quarterback Justin Fields.
Last season, Homer appeared in 10 games with the Seahawks, where he had 19 carries for 74 yards (3.9 yards per carry) along with 16 catches for 157 yards and one touchdown.
We spoke to Tim Weaver of Seahawks Wire, who gave us the rundown on what we can expect from the Bears’ new running back and why he could be a good fit for Chicago.
