Vikings Can Pivot to $22 Million RB Amid Major Jonathan Taylor Updates

The Minnesota Vikings could target Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard as a trade alternative if pursuing Indianapolis Colts star Jonathan Taylor proves too costly. With Tennessee entering seller mode ahead of the November 10 deadline, ESPN analysts identified Minnesota and the Washington Commanders as prime landing spots for Pollard, who is playing on the final year of a $21.75 million contract.

Meanwhile, the Colts have maintained a steep asking price for Taylor, reportedly rejecting an offer that included a 2027 second-round pick. Due to cap limitations and heavy competition from the New York Giants, Denver Broncos, Green Bay Packers, and Seattle Seahawks, Heavy reports Pollard offers a cheaper, expiring trade option for Minnesota.
