The Tennessee Titans have made a big splash at the start of free agency, agreeing to terms with former Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, it’s a three-year contract worth $24 million.
The veteran had a disappointing 2023 campaign, finishing as the RB14 despite the fact that he was a top-20 pick in the majority of fantasy drafts. He saw declines in his yards per rush average, which dropped from six the previous season down to four, and his touchdown total fell from 12 (with Ezekiel Elliott) to just six last year.
Now with the Titans, he’ll work under new head coach Brian Callahan in an offense that promises to be pass friendly. That should benefit Pollard, who caught a career-high 55 passes last season. The downside though, is that Pollard’s presence will likely mean some sort of committee with Tyjae Spears will be implemented. It also means Spears won’t be nearly as attractive as a potential breakout back.
