Vikings consider trade for Titans RB Tony Pollard amid run game struggles
Summary

The Minnesota Vikings' run game has been identified as a key area for improvement, lacking a definitive RB1. With trade speculation rising as the deadline approaches, Vikings insider Alec Lewis points to Titans running back Tony Pollard, suggesting he could be a candidate to boost the team's ground attack. Pollard has shown consistent performance over the last four seasons, surpassing 1,000 rushing yards each year. However, Lewis notes that Pollard may not bring the explosive playmaking the Vikings need. Other options appear limited, as several teams with potential sellers are unlikely to part with primary running backs. As the Vikings remain undefeated at 4-0 despite offensive challenges, they consider their options in the trade market as the deadline nears.
