Giants Will Canvas League for Trade-Deadline Upgrades

Schoen says the team will pursue only moves that provide clear short-term help while keeping long-term cost acceptable.

Overview

  • General manager Joe Schoen said Tuesday the Giants will 'canvas the league' in the two weeks before the trade deadline to see what upgrades are available.
  • New York sits atop the NFC East at 4-2-1 and recent injuries to key contributors have increased pressure to add roster help for a postseason push.
  • The team has just five picks in next year’s draft after earlier trades, a constraint that will limit what the Giants are willing to give up in deals.
  • Reports link the club to help at running back and on the defensive line, with Jonathan Taylor named in speculation, but those targets remain unconfirmed and face cost and salary-cap hurdles.
  • Schoen’s approach will be measured rather than urgent, which means New York may wait for clear value or rely on future picks and contract considerations if market prices are high.
