The Giants coming up empty in their search for a running back upgrade wasn\u2019t for a lack of effort.<\/p>\n

Like any fantasy football manager feeling themselves, the Giants reached out to the Falcons to check in on the availability of star running back Bijan Robinson, according to ESPN<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And like most fantasy managers asking for the stud, Big Blue got a \u201cNo,\u201d marking at least their second known rejection, along with the lack of a deal with the Colts<\/a> for fellow star running back Jonathan Taylor.<\/p>\n

The NFC East-leading Giants tried hard to improve their roster for the playoff push before Tuesday\u2019s deadline and particularly wanted to improve their backfield.<\/p>\n

Robinson is a top-two back in the NFL, a rare team-outlook-changing talent, and as the old saying goes, you don\u2019t know unless you ask.<\/p>\n

Despite their poor season, the Falcons likely had no reason to trade him after signing him to a long-term deal this offseason unless the Giants blew them away.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unknown whether talks got to the offers stage, like the Giants did with the Colts before the sides could not come to terms.<\/p>\n

The Giants drew a hard line in the sand in negotiations with the Colts, offering a 2027 second-round pick and 2028 fifth-round selection but not budging to a first.<\/p>\n

Despite the lack of a first-round pick in 2027, the Colts decided to stand pat and keep Taylor into the offseason and potentially re-engage teams in trade talks then.<\/p>\n

The Giants will now have to continue<\/a> to rely on Cam Skattebo and Devin Singletary to lead their backfield with a critical home clash against the Commanders on Thursday on tap.<\/p>\n
