Giants Get Brutal Jonathan Taylor Trade Update Before Deadline

As the NFL Trade Deadline starts to wind down over the next hour, the New York Giants have been trying to land some impact players.

New York has been in the market for both help at the running back position, as well as defensive tackle. The Giants have been linked to multiple players this season, with rumors flying all around the organization.

One player that has been consistently mentioned as a trade target for the Giants is running back Jonathan Taylor of the Indianapolis Colts. With the Colts trying to tank, the team has undergone a fire sale this season.

Taylor was expected to be the next in line, with the Giants actively linked to the star running back. New York is in need of more help at the position, but the team's chance to land Taylor seems to be gone.

According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Colts have now informed Taylor that he won't be traded before the deadline expires. New York will now have to go back to the drawing board to find help at the running back position.

Taylor would have been a major get for the Giants, helping out the offense completely for the rest of the year. But the price to land him from the Colts seemed to be far too high for the Giants to deal with.

New York still needs help at the running back spot, with the team looking elsewhere at this point. Someone like Tony Pollard of the Tennessee Titans could make sense for the Giants, and New York has been linked with Pollard in the past.

With Cam Skattebo slated as the team's starter, the Giants should be trying to add to the mix. Skattebo is a good player, but he is better suited to carry the load with another running back as the year goes on.

For the season, Skattebo has rushed for 418 yards and two touchdowns, giving the Giants limited production on the ground. The Giants want to establish the run even more as the season goes on, making the need for another back crucial.

New York holds a record of 5-2-1 on the season, with the group sitting atop the NFC East division right now. The Giants are looking toward a playoff spot, and the team is in great position right now.

But it remains to be seen if the team will be able to land more help before the trade deadline expires in a little over a half hour.
