00:00Did you hear anything on why John Harbaugh, Joe Shane, Don Aponte didn't trade for anyone and
00:06what their thought process was at the final moments of the deadline?
00:11It was not for a lack of trying. They had a lot of feelers out. It was a running back.
00:16It was a
00:16defensive tackle to stop the run. That's what they were interested in. Not many teams have a
00:21run stopper in the middle of their defensive line that they're willing to give up. Look,
00:25they wanted Jonathan Taylor, but they did not come off their offer of a second round pick in 2027
00:32and a fifth round pick in 2028. If the Colts were highly motivated to trade Jonathan Taylor,
00:39they would have. Yes, the Giants did nothing at the trade deadline, right? But they did make a very
00:45big trade not long ago. Where was the season without J.J. McCarthy? They might have saved
00:51their season by what they did a month ago by trading away their fifth round pick. The Vikings
00:56traded J.J. McCarthy away because they had no use for him and he was their third quarterback.
01:02So what did they have to do yesterday? They traded a third round pick to get Kirk Cousins because they
01:08are in such dire need of a quarterback. So that's not great business if you think of it. They got
01:13a
01:13fifth round pick for a quarterback. The Giants are damn glad that they made that trade when they did.
