The Cincinnati Bengals are evaluating a trade for running back Tony Pollard as the NFL trade deadline approaches. Pollard has performed well, rushing for 478 yards and four touchdowns this season. Unlike Saquon Barkley and Jonathan Taylor, Pollard is on an expiring contract, providing a cost-effective option.
