The New York Giants reportedly contacted the Atlanta Falcons to discuss a potential trade for running back Bijan Robinson, according to NFL rumors circulating Wednesday. The inquiry comes as the Giants continue to evaluate options at the position, with previous speculation linking them to Indianapolis Colts star Jonathan Taylor.
Robinson, the eighth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, has emerged as a dynamic offensive weapon for Atlanta. The 22-year-old former Texas standout rushed for 976 yards and four touchdowns as a rookie while adding 58 receptions for 487 yards and four scores through the air.
Any potential deal would likely require significant draft capital, given Robinson's age, production, and team-friendly rookie contract. The Falcons have shown no public indication of willingness to move their centerpiece back, who forms a formidable duo with quarterback Kirk Cousins in Atlanta's revamped offense.
The Giants' interest underscores their urgency to upgrade a backfield that has struggled for consistency. New York's current rotation includes Eric Gray, Tyrone Tracy Jr., and veteran Devin Singletary, none of whom have established themselves as a true feature back.
