The Athletic's Dianna Russini shared recent trade speculation circulating throughout the league. On Saturday and stated that the Titans are fielding calls on multiple starters, including running back Tony Pollard.
"The players the Titans are fielding the most calls on: DE Arden Key, LB Dre’Mont Jones, RB Tony Pollard and DT T’Vondre Sweat," Russini wrote.
Russini mentioned that the Patriots might consider acquiring a running back because of recent injuries sustained by Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson. Stevenson holds the will not play in New England's Week 9 game against the Atlanta Falcons due to a toe injury position, whereas Gibson occupies the out for the year with a torn ACL. Role.
The Patriots are actively seeking a pass rusher, yet they remain confident in their offensive arsenal. Russini noted that a running back might be an option due to recent injuries.
Given that the Titans are reportedly fielding offers for Pollard, it's logical for New England to pursue the experienced running back. Pollard's performance hasn't been outstanding this season, rushing for 424 yards and two touchdowns on 3.9 yards per carry.
Last year, the Memphis native was the driving force behind Tennessee's offense, achieving a personal best of 1,079 rushing yards.
New England's backfield could benefit from a game-changer, considering Stevenson has been inefficient and TreVeyon Henderson aren't yet ready for a full workload. The Patriots could see a significant improvement in their position group with Pollard, and a late-round draft pick should suffice to secure a trade with The Titans.
If the Patriots want to address the running back room, Pollard should be near the top of their list of targets. Tennessee the team has already executed several transactions indicating a move to divest some of its holdings., so there's a good chance Pollard is in a new uniform by November 4.
