Giants Showing Strong Jonathan Taylor Interest; Team More Willing To Meet Colts’ Demands Than Broncos, Vikings?

The New York Giants have emerged as a serious suitor for Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor ahead of the trade deadline, reportedly showing more willingness to meet Indianapolis' high asking price than either the Denver Broncos or Minnesota Vikings. Indianapolis is reportedly seeking a first-round draft pick or an equivalent package of assets, having reportedly rejected an offer of a second-round pick plus another selection.

New York is aggressively exploring offensive upgrades under head coach John Harbaugh after leading the NFC East at midseason. While Fox Sports' Ralph Vacchiano projects the Giants will acquire Taylor, the team has also identified the Titans' Tony Pollard and Derrick Henry as potential secondary trade options.
