Titans signed DE Michael Montgomery.

The 2005 sixth-rounder has seen time with the Vikings and Packers over the past five years. He played just two games as an injury fill-in with Green Bay last season. Montgomery isn't a good bet to make the roster in Tennessee.

Packers waived DE Michael Montgomery.

Montgomery was brought back a couple of weeks ago as injury insurance. The Packers have added NT Howard Green and DE Jarius Wynn since then. This move clears roster space for Al Harris or Atari Bigby to be activated from PUP.

Michael Montgomery - DL - Packers

Vikings signed DL Michael Montgomery to a one-year contract.

A misfit in Green Bay's 3-4 last year, Montgomery returns to the friendly confines of a 4-3 alignment in Minnesota. He says he hopes to play left end for the Vikes, but at 6'5/285 is more likely to earn playing time on the interior. If Montgomery does see action outside, he'll back up LE Ray Edwards.

Michael Montgomery - DL - Packers

The Vikings will host free agent DL Michael Montgomery on Monday.

Montgomery, 26, can play three positions along the defensive line, but has just five career sacks in five seasons. He'd likely battle Letroy Guion, Jayme Mitchell, and Fred Evans for snaps off the bench if he made the team.

Michael Montgomery - DL - Packers

Packers released DE Michael Montgomery.

Montgomery, 26, couldn't get on the field in the first year of Green Bay's 3-4 defense, even falling behind sixth-round rookie Jairus Wynn on the depth chart. Also injury prone, Montgomery will find slim pickings in free agency.

The Falcons canceled free agent DE Michael Montgomery's visit after re-signing Chauncey Davis.

Michael Montgomery - DL - Packers

Free agent DE Michael Montgomery is scheduled to meet the Falcons on Tuesday.

The Packers have no interest in keeping Montgomery because he wouldn't fit at end or outside linebacker in their defense. He'd be a backup in Atlanta.

Michael Montgomery - DL - Packers

The Packers are not expected to re-sign free agent DLs Mike Montgomery and Colin Cole.

Neither are considered good fits for Dom Capers' 3-4 scheme. Montgomery is too small to play end at 273 pounds and Cole isn't considered stout enough for the 3-4 nose tackle job.

Michael Montgomery - DL - Packers

Packers RE Michael Montgomery had a game-high 10 tackles and a sack in Week 9 against the Titans.

GM Ted Thompson was impressed by Montgomery's performance: "He just has a knack. He knows how to play the game." Montgomery was getting a majority of the reps by the second half and may have jumped back ahead of Jeremy Thompson on the team's depth chart.
