Giants Urged to Seek Jonathan Taylor Trade

Former NFL players and coaches are urging the Giants to pursue Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, arguing that a proven lead back could strengthen New York’s ground game and help it contend in a winnable NFC East. Andrew Whitworth and former Giants defensive coordinator Wink Martindale both pointed to Taylor as a fit for coach John Harbaugh’s preferred offense, while uncertainty in Indianapolis after its general manager’s firing could make Taylor available. The recommendations come amid questions about the Giants’ running-back room, including Cam Skattebo’s limited role and ball-security issues. Separately, the Giants are also seen as potential suitors for Jaguars receiver Brian Thomas Jr. as they seek more depth behind Malik Nabers.
