According to ESPN's Jordan Raanan, New York called the Falcons about star running back Bijan Robinson ahead of the trade deadline. It's unclear if the Giants actually put forward an offer, and league sources describe Robinson as a player Atlanta values too much to move.\n\nRobinson, a two-time Pro Bowler at 24, currently leads the NFL with 880 rushing yards this season. The call fits a pattern for New York under the early days of the John Harbaugh era, as the team has been aggressive in hunting for a marquee back. The Giants also inquired about reigning Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III in free agency.\n\nThe Robinson call wasn't the only big swing. The Giants were among the most mentioned teams in talks for Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, and reportedly offered Indianapolis a second and fifth-round pick for him before pulling that offer off the table. Taylor was not moved by the Colts, who instead dealt guard Quenton Nelson, defensive tackle DeForest Buckner and wide receivers Keenan Allen and Josh Downs. In the end, the Giants' running back room remains unchanged.","published_at":"2026-11-11T18:49:13.231848+00:00","source_count":5,"written_from":[{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"Giants called about Falcons phenom Bijan Robinson in stunning NFL trade deadline reveal","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/11/11/sports/giants-called-about-bijan-robinson-in-stunning-nfl-trade-deadline-reveal/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Giants reportedly called Falcons about RB Bijan Robinson ahead of trade deadline","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/article/giants-reportedly-called-falcons-about-rb-bijan-robinson-ahead-of-trade-deadline-191827687.html"},{"outlet":"Fox Sports","publisher":"Fox Sports","title":"Giants Reportedly Pursued Trade For Falcons Superstar RB Bijan Robinson","url":"https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/giants-bijan-robinson-rumor-nfl-trade-deadline-falcons"},{"outlet":"Pro Football Talk","publisher":"NBC Sports","title":"Report: Giants called Falcons about a potential Bijan Robinson trade","url":"https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-giants-called-falcons-about-a-potential-bijan-robinson-trade"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"Giants attempted to trade for Falcons star RB Bijan Robinson at trade deadline, per report","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/giants-attempted-to-trade-for-falcons-bijan-robinson-trade-deadline/"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Report: New York Giants called Atlanta Falcons about Bijan Robinson","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/report-york-giants-called-atlanta-112526559.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Giants made bold long-shot trade inquiry on Falcons’ superstar RB","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/giants-made-bold-long-shot-152116855.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Giants attempted blockbuster Bijan Robinson trade at NFL trade deadline","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/giants-attempted-blockbuster-bijan-robinson-152612993.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Report: Giants called Falcons about a potential Bijan Robinson trade","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/report-giants-called-falcons-potential-153905558.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Giants made desperate call to Falcons about Bijan Robinson","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/giants-made-desperate-call-falcons-164440112.html"}],"image":{"url":"https://nbcsports.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/1b0d550/2147483647/strip/false/crop/1920x1080+0+0/resize/1920x1080!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhdliveextra-a.akamaihd.net%2FHD%2Fimage_sports%2FNBCU_Sports_Group_-_nbcsports%2F32%2F950%2Fnbc_pft_giantsbeateagles_261109.jpg","credit":"Pro Football Talk","width":1920},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
