Ex-Chiefs RB Pacheco Joins Detroit Lions

Isiah Pacheco is reportedly leaving the Kansas City Chiefs, his team for the past four seasons, to sign with the Detroit Lions in free agency. This move follows two Super Bowl championships with the Chiefs.

The Lions' acquisition of Pacheco is part of a larger backfield reshuffling. They previously traded David Montgomery to the Houston Texans in exchange for offensive lineman Juice Scruggs and draft picks.

Pacheco joins a Lions team that retains Jahmyr Gibbs, who had a strong 2025 season with 1,223 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns. Pacheco could serve as a complementary back to Gibbs, provided he can remain healthy after missing games last season due to an MCL sprain.
