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.
