Cowboys RB Tony Pollard Says $10 Million Franchise Tag is 'Fine With Me'
Tony Pollard has a unique contract status. As training camp begins, the new Cowboys RB1 seems fine with playing under the $10.1 million franchise tag in 2023.
Pollard was open about playing under the tag and ready to win.
Pollard told The Athletic's Jon Machota that $10 million is fine.
Pollard's statements are intriguing, but his situation differs from other running backs in contract disputes.
As the Cowboys running back noted,
he signed the tag and is at training camp ready to work.
Pollard is coming off a rookie contract worth just north of $3.18 million over four years, so this is a huge pay raise.
If Pollard plays as well in 2023 as he did last season, he'll likely get a multi-year contract.
