Pollard Trade: Why Titans’ Star RB Could Be Giants’ Best Plan B

With Jonathan Taylor off the table, the Giants might target Tony Pollard. Yahoo Sports says his $3.74M cost fits the budget and his stats prove he works.

Pollard Trade: Why Titans’ Star RB Could Be Giants’ Best Plan B

The Indianapolis Colts' star running back, Jonathan Taylor, appears unlikely to join the New York Giants due to his current performance and the team's current struggles. Instead, the Giants may turn to Tony Pollard, a player often overlooked until it's too late. Pollard, a former Dallas Cowboys alumnus, would cost the Giants around $3.74 million in salary for the remainder of the season.

His impressive career average of 4.3 yards per carry makes him a prime candidate to bolster the Giants' offensive capabilities. This move, however, comes with a complex draft pick structure, potentially leading to a bidding war among teams. The Giants, currently sitting at 4-2-1 in the NFC East, could benefit significantly from Pollard's experience and reliability, providing a much-needed boost to their roster and overall playoff chances.
