Giants urged to pursue bold trades for NFC East title
On November 3, 2026, the Giants were urged to use the trade deadline to strengthen their push to win the NFC East.
The Giants are in the driver’s seat in the NFC East, and the case being made is that they should use the trade deadline to improve their chances of winning the division. Giants coach John Harbaugh and club executive Joe Schoen are urged to be aggressive rather than protect future draft assets.
The proposed targets include running backs Jonathan Taylor and Derrick Henry, if either becomes available. The suggested price for a player such as Taylor or Henry is a second-round draft pick. A starting-caliber defensive tackle is another possible addition, with 2028 mid-round draft picks offered as a potential cost.
The argument is that a division title matters enough to justify spending those picks. The Giants have not won anything beyond a wild-card playoff game in 2022 since their last championship in 2011, making this season’s NFC East opportunity the immediate priority. The trade deadline is the point at which Harbaugh and Schoen are being pressed to act.
Players: Derrick Henry, Jonathan Taylor
