Browns New Star RB Trade Target Emerges Amid Injury Trouble

The Cleveland Browns are having a good start to the season, as they have a 4-2 record and are at the top of the AFC North.

With the way the Browns are playing, it is very likely that they will be buyers ahead of the trade deadline. When looking at the Browns' current roster, it is clear that they should be looking to add a running back. They have been dealing with injury trouble at the position, so it would not be surprising at all if they acquired a running back by the deadline.

Due to this, the Browns are now being connected to a notable running back trade candidate.

In a recent article for Bleacher Report, Kristopher Knox named the Browns as the top potential suitor for Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard.

"Running back Tony Pollard is a good support piece for Ward right now, but he's 29 years old and an impending free agent. He should have a solid trade market, though, as he has four 1,000-yard seasons on his resume and could upgrade several of the backfields that have been impacted by injuries this season," Knox wrote. "Potential Suitors: Cleveland Browns, Seattle Seahawks."

Pollard would certainly be an interesting running back for the Browns to add to their roster as they continue their playoff push. The eight-year NFL veteran would provide Cleveland's offense with a nice boost, as he is still an impactful player at this stage in his career.

In six games this season with the Titans, Pollard has recorded one touchdown, 87 rushes, and 349 rushing yards. He also recorded over 1,000 rushing yards over his previous four seasons. With this, the Pro Bowler would be a significant pickup for the Browns if acquired. It will be interesting to see if they pursue him because of it.
