'Nothing Is Off The Table' - John Harbaugh Basically Confirmed The Giants Pulled Their Trade Offer For Jonathan Taylor, Still Plans To Make The Giants Better

Alright, well, this is on the Colts now. They had a 2nd and 5th offer for Jonathan Taylor, could trade him out of the conference and they want to get cute. Fine. Time for Harbaugh and the Giants to pivot. I don't know what the answer is at running back, especially if Skattebo is still banged up, but it's clear it won't be Jonathan Taylor. Or maybe it is.

That whole 'anything is on the table' and 'things change' is a little bit of mental warfare by Harbaugh. He's putting it out there that the Giants plan on making a move. He's calling team owners directly! He wants this team to be in the playoffs and at this rate there's no reason to think they can't be. Winning the division, 3 division games left and you get 2 of them at home. That's a path right there. There's no reason to not try and make a run in year 1. Look around the NFL. We all thought the Lions would be favorites year after year when they lost to the 49ers. They've never gotten back to the NFC Championship game. The Bills and Ravens haven't made a Super Bowl yet with Josh Allen and Lamar. There's no guarantees in this league.

The one guarantee is Arvell Reese is a superstar. That's the guy you build around on defense. Actually, the Giants defense in general is pretty fucking good. Not sure what they did to turn Deonte Banks into a starting corner and Newsome and Holland back there. But it's all working. 

So the phone line is open. The Giants are going to get better. The question is just from who.
