Calvin Ridley and Tony Pollard Draw Trade Interest as Deadline Nears
Titans receiver Calvin Ridley is a backup trade option for teams seeking help before the NFL trade deadline.
Ridley has six catches this season and has fallen behind younger receivers in Tennessee.
The Titans are reportedly hoping for a fifth-round pick for Ridley, who has had three 1,000-yard receiving seasons.
His market could grow if teams miss out on higher-profile receivers, including Jacksonville's Brian Thomas Jr. and Indianapolis's Josh Downs.
Tony Pollard has also drawn trade calls as teams look for a running back.
Pollard has 595 rushing yards and six touchdowns this season, and teams may need to offer at least a fourth-round pick to acquire him.
The Titans may prefer to keep more players after trading Jeffery Simmons, and a source described the chance of further deals as slim.
