A new report 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 rumor, reported by Jason Burgos of Sportsnaut on November 5, 2026, indicates timing constraints may affect the Giants' pursuit of the All-Pro running back.
Taylor, who has been the subject of trade speculation since requesting a move from Indianapolis in 2023, remains under contract with the Colts. Any trade would require agreement between the teams on compensation, with the specific waiting period mentioned in the report not disclosed in initial accounts.
The Giants have sought backfield reinforcement after inconsistent production from their running game in recent seasons. Taylor, a two-time Pro Bowl selection, would represent a significant upgrade if a deal materializes once the reported waiting period concludes.
