Giants Reportedly Pulled Offer for Jonathan Taylor as Harbaugh Says Team Remains Open

The move underscores New York’s reluctance to give up high draft capital and leaves Tuesday’s trade deadline set to determine Taylor’s fate.

Overview

  • Multiple reports said the Giants revoked a previously reported offer of a second‑ and fifth‑round pick for Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, a development first published in the hours before New York’s 19‑11 win.
  • Coach John Harbaugh declined to confirm the media report but said the team is “open for any kind of situation” while warning it will not pursue short‑term fixes at an exorbitant cost.
  • New York’s rushing attack produced just 80 yards on 31 carries in the win with top backs Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy sidelined by hamstring injuries, creating immediate pressure for an upgrade.
  • Indianapolis has shifted into seller mode and has been reported to seek a first‑round pick or equivalent multi‑pick package for Taylor, who is under contract through 2028 and has multiple 1,100+ yard seasons.
  • With the NFL trade deadline hours away, the decision now hinges on whether the Giants will raise their offer or the Colts will retain Taylor if they judge proposed returns too low, a choice that could reshape New York’s short‑term roster and draft plans.
