Should Giants trade for Jonathan Taylor? What's next for Kirk Cousins, Chiefs WR? NFL trade deadline questions emerge from Sunday's games
The New York Giants' shaky run game has reignited speculation about a potential trade for Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, as the team grapples with injuries to Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy Jr., and Devin Singletary. The Giants managed just 80 rushing yards in a recent loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, with quarterback J.J.
McCarthy and Jameis Winston combining for 33 yards on the ground after Skattebo’s hamstring injury sidelined him. Analysts suggest the Giants should address their offensive line and scheme before pursuing a star running back, given the Colts’ demand for a package of picks comparable to Christian McCaffrey’s trade value—including a 2027 second-rounder and a 2028 fifth-rounder.
Giants head coach Brian Harbaugh acknowledged trade discussions are ongoing but emphasized no immediate moves are planned, leaving Taylor’s future as a focal point ahead of Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline. Meanwhile, the team’s inconsistent rushing attack, ranked 18th in run-block win rate per ESPN, has been further complicated by quarterback Jaxson Dart’s season-ending injury and Skattebo’s benching earlier this season.
