Giants Explored Deal For Falcons Star Bijan Robinson, Per Report
The New York Giants contacted the Atlanta Falcons about a potential trade for star running back Bijan Robinson ahead of the 2026 NFL trade deadline, according to ESPN. The inquiry was one of several the Giants made as they searched for backfield reinforcements before the deadline passed.
New York's interest in adding a top-tier running back had already been evident in its pursuit of Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, a three-time Pro Bowler. FOX Sports NFL Insider Jay Glazer reported on Nov. 8 that the Giants had offered the Colts a second- and fifth-round pick for Taylor. New York later withdrew that offer, and Indianapolis kept Taylor, instead trading guard Quenton Nelson, defensive tackle DeForest Buckner and wide receivers Keenan Allen and Josh Downs. beach volleyball bets
The Giants' search for a running back followed hamstring injuries to Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy Jr., both sustained in New York's Week 7 win over the Houston Texans. Skattebo is expected back for the Giants' Thursday night game against the Washington Commanders, while Tracy's return is targeted for December. Robinson, meanwhile, has emerged as one of the league's most productive backs: through nine games this season, he has rushed for an NFL-high 880 yards and five touchdowns at a career-best 5.2 yards per carry, adding 31 catches for 250 receiving yards and a score. He was a 2025 All-Pro and has made the Pro Bowl in each of the last two full seasons.
Atlanta signed Robinson to a three-year, $66.75 million extension in August, making his $22.25 million average annual value the second-highest among NFL running backs. The Falcons sit at 3-6 but remain just a half-game out of first place in the NFC South. The Giants, by contrast, lead the NFC East at 5-2-1, despite an offense that ranks 14th in total yards (333.1 per game), 16th in passing yards (221.0) and points (22.8), and 17th in rushing yards (112.1) this season.
