Report: Giants called Falcons about a potential Bijan Robinson trade

Published November 11, 2026 10:39 AM The Giants didn’t make any big deals at the trade deadline, but they tried to make a very big one.The Giants called the Falcons to see whether running back Bijan Robinson was available in a trade, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.That would have been a blockbuster, but it’s unsurprising that the teams didn’t make a deal. The Falcons made a big investment in Robinson this offseason, signing him to a three-year, $66.8 million contract extension, and from all accounts they view him as one of the most important pieces of their franchise.There’s no word on what the Giants were willing to offer, or whether the Falcons engaged at all, or simply told the Giants, “Not interested.”The Giants did make one big trade this season, acquiring J.J. McCarthy, who has played well enough for the Giants to win their first two starts and remain in first place in the NFC East. Acquiring Robinson would have been a strong sign that the Giants believe they’re serious contenders, this year. That the Giants even tried showed that coach John Harbaugh meant it when he said they’re a team trying to win now, not build for the future.
