Giants coach says trade talks for Jonathan Taylor remain fluid

The New York Giants have been linked to a pursuit of Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, but a report ahead of Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles suggested a trade is unlikely before the league’s Tuesday deadline. Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer said the Giants offered the Colts a second- and fifth-round draft pick, which the Colts did not accept, and the offer has since been withdrawn.

When asked about the report after the Giants’ 19-11 victory, head coach John Harbaugh said, "> I’d say we’re open for any kind of situation, but I will say this, things do change. Things change from day-to-day. So it’s not like one day you may do something and the next day something happens and it changes your position. I’m not saying that report’s not true. Those conversations are taking place and if something happens for any player, I can’t talk about any player because they’re with other teams right now, but we’re not ruling anything out, but I don’t see anything particularly imminent right now either. So we’ll see what happens."

The Colts, now 2-7 after a loss to the Dallas Cowboys, may prioritize future assets, potentially making them more receptive to a trade. The Giants, at 5-2-1, have a clear path to a division title and could consider a more aggressive approach as the season progresses.
