Giants Emerge as Serious Jonathan Taylor Trade Suitor

The Giants have emerged as a serious possible destination for Jonathan Taylor, even though they have not offered enough to meet the Indianapolis Colts’ asking price. The Colts are seeking a first-round draft pick or a package comparable to the one Carolina received for Christian McCaffrey in 2023, NFL reporter Albert Breer said Friday, November 6.

The Broncos and Vikings have also discussed a possible deal, but both teams appear less likely to pursue Taylor now. Indianapolis has not received an offer that meets its stated value for the three-time Pro Bowl running back.

The Colts enter Week 9 at 2-6 after losing four straight. They have already traded defensive tackle DeForest Buckner and guard Quenton Nelson, and the NFL trade deadline is November 10.

Taylor remains with Indianapolis for now. Coach Shane Steichen said Wednesday that the 27-year-old will play Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys, a game that could be his last with the team that drafted him in 2020.

Taylor has gained 610 yards and scored eight times on 148 rushing attempts this season. He has also caught 21 passes for 202 yards.
