Giants asked Falcons about Bijan Robinson trade, report says
Atlanta signed the running back to a three-year, US$66.8 million extension, and no trade followed the inquiry.
The Giants approached the Falcons about the possibility of trading for running back Bijan Robinson, ESPN’s Jordan Raanan reported. The inquiry did not lead to a deal before the trade deadline.
Whether Atlanta was willing to discuss a trade remains unclear. There were no details on what the Giants might have offered or whether the Falcons took part in negotiations.
Robinson had signed an extension with the Falcons during the offseason. The agreement covered three years and was worth US$66.8 million.
The Giants had already completed another trade during the season, acquiring J.J. McCarthy. They remained in first place in the NFC East, while coach John Harbaugh had said the team was focused on winning now rather than building for the future.
