The New York Giants called the Atlanta Falcons before Tuesday’s trade deadline to inquire about star running back Bijan Robinson, sources told ESPN’s Jordan Raanan.
However, it’s unknown whether the Giants actually made a trade offer for Robinson, the league’s leading rusher.
The Giants have been proactive in pursuing running back upgrades since hiring head coach John Harbaugh in January. New York reportedly explored signing Kenneth Walker III in free agency and showed interest in drafting Jeremiyah Love.
New York also made a trade offer for Indianapolis Colts star Jonathan Taylor but ultimately pulled it.
“I’d be excited for the right guy,” Harbaugh said an hour before Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline. “My excitement level would be based on who the player is. You get the right player, then you’re really excited.”
