  "account": "The Denver Broncos and Green Bay Packers, both playoff contenders, were interested in acquiring an AFC South running back before Tuesday's trade deadline. However, they were unable to reach agreements on a deal for additional running back support. Indianapolis Colts' Jonathan Taylor was the prime target, but his asking price, roughly equivalent to a first-round pick or a package similar to the 2022 Christian McCaffery trade, was deemed too high by multiple teams. Rather than trading Taylor for a low price, retaining him would benefit the Colts' future general manager. The Tennessee Titans made an unusual choice with Tony Pollard. While the Broncos and Packers inquired about Pollard, the Titans insisted on a third-round pick as compensation. ESPN's Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter reported the incident.",
