Packers and Broncos explored trade for Tony Pollard
Tennessee wanted at least a third-round draft pick for the running back, but neither team met that price.
Green Bay and Denver made inquiries about acquiring Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard before the trade deadline, according to ESPNFL. The Titans were seeking at least a third-round draft pick, and no team offered enough to complete a deal.
Interest in Pollard had emerged a week before the deadline, when Tennessee was not discussing a trade. The Titans later entered talks but held to their asking price.
Pollard has recorded four consecutive 1,000-yard seasons and has rushed for 595 yards through eight games in 2026. His three-year contract, worth US$21.75 million, expires after its current final season. He is due to enter free agency in March.
Dallas selected Pollard in the fourth round in 2019. Initially a backup to Ezekiel Elliott, he earned a Pro Bowl selection after rushing for 1,007 yards in 2022. He took over as the full-time starter in 2023 while playing under the franchise tag, then joined Tennessee in 2024.
