The New York Giants are reportedly enthusiastic about the possibility of acquiring Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor via trade, with team sources describing the chance as "amazing" and a potential "home-run" addition to their offense.
According to a report from NJ.com published Tuesday, the Giants view Taylor as a transformative talent who could immediately elevate their backfield. The 25-year-old All-Pro has rushed for over 4,000 yards and 33 touchdowns in his first four NFL seasons despite missing time with injuries in 2023.
Taylor, who signed a three-year, $42 million extension with Indianapolis in October 2023, carries a cap hit that could complicate any trade negotiation. The Colts have given no public indication they are willing to move the former second-round pick out of Wisconsin.
New York's interest comes as the franchise continues searching for offensive playmakers around quarterback Daniel Jones. The Giants' rushing attack ranked near the bottom of the league last season, averaging fewer than 100 yards per game on the ground.
