Jonathan Taylor is available, and the Giants are among the teams that have shown interest. The reporting moves an Indianapolis trade beyond a hypothetical.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Colts are open to dealing the running back and that discussions are active. The Broncos, Packers, Vikings and Seahawks were also listed among teams with some level of interest. No deal with New York has been announced.
What Taylor would cost the Giants
Taylor gives an offense a proven lead back, and Tyrone Tracy Jr.’s injured-reserve placement leaves New York thinner at the position. The Giants are 4-2-1 entering their bye and have reason to explore upgrades while they lead the NFC East.
They also lack their 2027 fourth- and fifth-round picks after earlier moves. That makes the price and contract consequences central to any discussion. Taylor signed an extension in August, so an acquiring team would need to evaluate more than a short-term rental.
I’d pursue him only with a firm limit on premium picks. Cam Skattebo just ran for 124 yards in Houston, and New York also needs help up front on defense. A major offer for a running back should not leave the club unable to address the other opening.

The alternative is already on the roster
The Giants can continue with Skattebo and Devin Singletary while assessing their other depth. Taylor would offer a different ceiling, but interest is not the same as an agreement and the Colts’ final asking price is not known.
Indianapolis plays Jacksonville on Sunday. The Giants’ interest is established by reporting; whether the teams can agree on terms remains a separate matter.
