  "account": "An intriguing midseason trade target in the NFL could be Pro Bowl running back Tony Pollard, according to ESPN insider Adam Schefter. Pollard, who is in the final year of his contract with the Tennessee Titans, could be a player teams are looking to move before the Nov. 10 deadline. The 29-year-old running back has been in impeccable form, finishing his third season with 1,000 yards and tallying 173 rushing yards this season. However, the 0-3 Titans, with the league's second-worst offense, may be motivated to trade Pollard as they seek their first win of the season. With a solid track record of 4,436 rushing yards since 2022 and a healthy average of 4.6 yards per carry, Pollard could prove to be an upgrade for several playoff hopefuls. Despite missing Wednesday's practice due to a foot injury, Pollard is active for Sunday's game against the Ravens, an opportunity that might allow him to showcase his talents to teams seeking a running back upgrade.",
