A new rumor reported by Sportsnaut suggests the New York Giants could be forced to wait until a specific date before advancing any potential trade for Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor. The report, published Thursday by Yahoo Sports, indicates timing constraints may affect the Giants' pursuit of the All-Pro rusher.
Jonathan Taylor, 25, has been the subject of trade speculation since requesting a move from Indianapolis earlier this offseason. The Colts have maintained a high asking price for the 2021 NFL rushing leader, who has rushed for 3,841 yards and 33 touchdowns over his first three seasons.
The Giants, seeking to upgrade their backfield behind quarterback Daniel Jones, have been linked to Taylor in various reports. New York's current running back room includes Saquon Barkley, who is playing on the franchise tag after contract negotiations stalled.
No specific date for the potential trade window was disclosed in the initial report. The Colts have stated publicly they prefer to keep Taylor, but have allowed him to seek a trade partner.
