Giants Pull Trade Offer for Jonathan Taylor Following Win Over Eagles

Coach John Harbaugh confirmed the Giants pulled a recent trade offer for Jonathan Taylor, though he noted that 'things do change.'

The New York Giants defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 19-11 on Sunday, moving to a 5-2-1 record while playing without injured running backs Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy Jr. Following the victory, coach John Harbaugh addressed reports that the team pulled a trade offer for Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor. Fox Sports reported the Giants previously offered a second- and a fifth-round pick for the veteran back, who plays for a 2-7 Colts team currently in sell mode.

Devin Singletary served as the lead back against Philadelphia, recording 31 yards on 21 carries. While Harbaugh acknowledged that trade conversations are occurring, he stated that no deal is currently imminent. The Giants are managing significant roster turnover due to injuries, including the season-ending loss of quarterback Jaxson Dart and pass rusher Brian Burns. Current starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy briefly exited Sunday's game with a hip injury before returning to play.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported limited contact between the Giants and Colts over the past week as Indianapolis maintains a high asking price for Taylor. Harbaugh noted that the team is not ruling anything out but will avoid short-term fixes at an exorbitant cost. Beyond the backfield, the Giants have explored defensive line upgrades, including a personal call from Harbaugh to Titans owner Amy Adams Strunk regarding Jeffery Simmons.
