Why not just find a competent RB that will cost a little less? Not sure we need a Ladanian Tomlinson type of star with how this team is built.

Im kidding mostly, I can’t see it happening. Said as much in other threads, he’s also nursing an injury…but Philly’s season is certainly circling the drain now.

Their season is in shambles no doubt. Heads will roll

He looked explosive in the game he got injured.

But all we need is Pollard.

For THIS SEASON I would agree...I think we could make do with that trio the rest of the way.

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

Pollard would be perfect for this season. You won't get any kind of big plays from him for the most part. But you will get a player that moves the chains. Not flashy. We don't need him to be. Aaron Jones is looking to be giving his absolute all, looks all in for his last season here. Pollard and Mason are perfect to match with him.

Yup. 1 season rental. He’s so similar to Jones without the constant nagging injuries. He’d be great insurance.

Having Mason, Pollard, Jones allows many different looks with two different players that can be relied on out of the back field in the passing game. Does well in pass blocking. You give Jones a rest at times. Pollard has always been best as a compliment and lesser snaps.

I'm all for adding a guy like Pollard for a 5th rounder. At minimum. But picture if you will, you're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind, where the Vikings are in the NFCC on the back of a resurgent Murray, a great line, the best receivers....and that cartoonishly good defense. One game to win and we go to the Super Bowl. At that point, will we wish we'd gone all in on Barkley two months prior? Seasons like this (if it truly is a season like this) don't come around often.

3 games until the trade deadline. Colts, at Detroit, Bills. Win all 3 and I think you swing for the fences for Jonathan Taylor. Especially if the 49ers suffer a few more key injuries.

But, Pollard would be your best ROI.

Barkley won't be playing today against Carolina, mentions the injury....or just resting trade capital? Both? Regardless, another loss for teams with some tradable commodities should loosen things up a bit on the trade market for this upcoming week methinks.

I think bolstering may be on the agenda, but nothing blockbuster for the Vikings.

Insurance policy type moves. Prudent
