What happened: RotoBaller reports that Pollard's team has told other clubs it wants to retain offensive contributors while evaluating its quarterback. That stance follows weeks of trade speculation around Pollard.

Why it matters: Pollard's expiring contract creates a choice between keeping his production and receiving a return before free agency. A trade would remove a runner the offense has relied on through seven games.

What to watch: An offer before the Nov. 10 deadline could test the team's position.
