Giants Withdraw Trade Offer for Jonathan Taylor

The Giants had proposed a second-round draft pick and a 2028 fifth-rounder for Taylor, but pulled the offer. They could return to negotiations if the Colts lower their asking price for the running back’s contract, Fox Sports insider Jay Glazer said. New York does not have a fifth-round pick in 2027.

The Colts have sent differing signals about whether they want to trade Taylor. Jordan Schultz said the league increasingly expects Indianapolis to keep him unless it receives the deal it wants. Schultz said New York alone offered a second-round selection along with additional compensation, and the Colts turned it down.

New York’s need for a running back has grown amid injuries. Cam Skattebo will miss the November 8 game because of a hamstring injury, while Tyrone Tracy Jr. is on injured reserve with a hamstring injury. Devin Singletary leads the available group against Philadelphia, alongside Gregory Desrosiers and Phil Mafah.

The Giants have also asked Baltimore about running back Justice Hill. They hope Skattebo can return for the November 12 game against Washington, though the short turnaround poses a challenge. If he is unavailable, the team is expected to rely on the same three available backs, barring further injuries.
