John Harbaugh says Giants did pull offer for Jonathan Taylor - ESPN

PHILADELPHIA — The Giants pulled a recent trade offer for Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, according to coach John Harbaugh, who added that doesn't mean a deal is completely off the table.

Fox Sports reported Sunday morning that the Giants offered the Colts a second- and a fifth-round pick for Taylor.

Harbaugh was asked about that offer after the Giants' win over the Eagles later Sunday.

«I'm not saying that report's not true. Those conversations are taking place,» he said following the 19-11 victory. «If something happens for any player, can't talk about any [specific] player because they're with other teams right now, but we're not ruling anything out.»

ESPN's Adam Schefter has reported the Giants and Colts didn't have much contact this past week. The Colts, in sell mode amid a 2-7 season, have maintained a high price for Taylor, sources said.

The Giants (5-2-1) are interested in improving their team. The question is at what cost. They're in the driver's seat in the NFC East, and running back is a position where an upgrade is viable if Taylor is available.

Cam Skattebo (hamstring) missed Sunday's game and Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hamstring) is on injured reserve. Devin Singletary was the team's lead back against the Eagles and had 31 yards on 21 carries.

An NFL source said this past week that he could still see the Giants adding an interior defensive lineman, also a position of need, before a running back.

«I don't see anything particularly imminent right now either,» Harbaugh said. «So we'll see what happens.»

Harbaugh already said earlier in the week he made a personal call to Titans owner Amy Adams Strunk about the availability of defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons. The Giants were also interested in Commanders defensive
