Oddsmakers predict slight improvement for 2024 - 8.5 wins.

I think with a productive player like a RB (Monty) you are always hoping you can maintain the level of production AND take a shot at getting something better for the same price or less. Teams do this all the time. They have a player that they like, but he's just not top tier for whatever reason. So they try to replace him. The common thinking on RBs has swung far, will be interesting to see if teams can identify an opportunity there to add/keep talent.

Classic example from recent Bears history....Alex Brown v Mark Anderson. Anderson had a great season as a situational pass rusher while ABrown was simply a step up from a JAG as a DE. So Lovie named Anderson as starter (seeming 12+ sacks as the floor) and Brown as the backup. Didn't work as Anderson couldn't play the run, while Brown could AND Brown provided a little pass rush being a more complete player. End of experiment.
