Titans Keep Tony Pollard at NFL Trade Deadline

Tennessee set a high asking price to preserve offensive continuity while it evaluates rookie quarterback Cam Ward.

Overview

  • The Titans kept running back Tony Pollard past the 4 p.m. ET trade deadline on Tuesday, with no trade reported by multiple outlets.
  • Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reported Tennessee sought at least a fourth-round pick and possibly a third to move Pollard, a price several outlets say discouraged prospective buyers.
  • Insiders named multiple suitors, including the Denver Broncos, New York Giants and Seattle Seahawks, as teams that expressed interest before the deadline.
  • Pollard entered the deadline producing 595 rushing yards and six touchdowns in eight games and is playing on the final year of his previous three‑year, $21.75 million deal.
  • Keeping Pollard preserves a key offensive piece for Cam Ward’s evaluation and leaves Pollard’s contract and a possible extension or offseason trade as the next decisions for the Titans.
