New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh confirmed a report Sunday about his team recently pulling a trade offer for Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, but that doesn't mean a potential deal is completely dead.
The Giants offered a second-round pick and a fifth-round pick for Taylor a couple weeks ago, but that offer is no longer on the table, FOX Sports' Jay Glazer reported Sunday morning.
Harbaugh addressed the report following New York's 19-11 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
"I'm not saying that report's not true. Those conversations are taking place," Harbaugh said, per ESPN's Jordan Raanan. "If something happens for any player, (I) can't talk about any (specific) player because they're with other teams right now, but we're not ruling anything out."
However, Harbaugh didn't shoot down the possibility that trade talks could resurface.
"I will say this: Things do change," he said. "Things change from day to day."
Taylor, who's arguably the top player available ahead of Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline, ran for 1,585 yards with an NFL-best 18 rushing touchdowns last season en route to earning his third career Pro Bowl nod.
The 27-year-old ranks eighth in the league in rushing yards (656) this season and sixth in rushing TDs (eight) entering Monday Night Football. He's under contract for two more years with a cap hit of $21 million in 2027 and $22.98 million in 2028, per Spotrac.
The Colts are reportedly seeking either a first-round pick for Taylor or a package similar to what the Carolina Panthers received for Christian McCaffrey when they shipped him to the San Francisco 49ers in 2023: second-, third-, fourth-, and fifth-round picks.
A running back is among the top needs for the NFC East-leading Giants. Cam Skattebo has rushed for a team-high 418 yards this season but missed Sunday's game with a hamstring injury. The team also benched him earlier in the season due to ball-security issues. Backup Tyrone Tracy is battling a hamstring injury and is on injured reserve. Devin Singletary started Sunday's win over the Eagles but was largely ineffective, toting the rock 21 times for a measly 31 yards.
