The New York Giants are officially in the market for a running back and a defensive tackle ahead of the November 10 trade deadline, and suddenly, the Jonathan Taylor buzz is hitting different. This isn’t just idle speculation, folks, it’s a confirmed target list for a team clearly looking to make some moves.

Giants Are Ready To Deal

NFL insider Jordan Schultz dropped a bomb Wednesday, reporting the Giants are “looking for” both a running back and a defensive tackle. This is a direct signal from the locker room that the Giants are actively trying to improve these spots. And who is at the absolute top of everyone’s mind for a star running back if he becomes available? None other than Jonathan Taylor. If the Indianapolis Colts actually decide to move their star RB, the Giants are right there, ready to pounce. ESPN’s Jordan Raanan previously reported the asking price for Taylor is a second-round pick, and possibly even more. That’s a steep price, but it tells you the caliber of player we’re talking about.

Colts Are Blowing It Up

So, why are the Colts even thinking about moving a talent like Taylor? It’s simple: they’ve started a full-blown roster teardown. Just Tuesday, they shipped out offensive guard Quenton Nelson and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner. That’s two massive pieces gone, signaling a clear direction for that franchise. They are definitely in fire sale mode. Giants general manager Joe Schoen isn’t messing around either. He told reporters Tuesday he’s already been in contact with “teams that have already started some trades.” Sounds like he’s watching the Colts like a hawk, doesn’t it?

The trade deadline is November 10. That’s just around the corner. Will the Giants pull the trigger on Jonathan Taylor, or will they find other solutions for their running back and defensive tackle needs as the Colts continue their roster demolition? Keep your eyes peeled, because the next few weeks are going to be wild, and GM Schoen is clearly ready to make a splash.
