Roster-specific plan
late-career running back with falling usage
The same player can require a different decision depending on your competitive window and the liquidity of the return.
Contending roster
Win-now approach
A contender can use Tony Pollard when the recent workload helps a real starting decision; price the asset for the current title window, not for an indefinite workload. A short competitive window is required to justify holding the risk.
Rebuilding roster
Long-term approach
A rebuilder should shop Tony Pollard for draft liquidity or a younger asset when another roster values the current tier more than the remaining career window. 3-week observed sample is a reason to set a bounded price, not to wait for an invented future role.
Negotiation edge
Best market move
