Big Blue View on Jonathan Taylor
From the article
Taylor has rushed for more than 1,000 yards four times — each time in his first six years he has been healthy enough to play a full season. He has 29 career 100-yard rushing games, three of those for more than 200. That is not bad for a running back of that ilk, sitting right between Henry ($15 million) and Christian McCaffrey ($19 million) in average annual value.
STACKED’s take
Taylor's contract and production profile make him a reasonable all-in target for Giants.
The source argues Taylor is the primary trade target for the Giants' all-in approach at the deadline. Taylor is 27 years old with a two-year, $44 million extension through 2028; if traded, the Giants would owe him the pro-rated portion of his $6.98 million 2026 salary and roughly $34 million over 2027–2028 seasons. This contract sits between Derrick Henry ($15 million) and Christian McCaffrey ($19 million) in average annual value, making it reasonable for a running back of his caliber. Taylor has rushed for more than 1,000 yards four times in his first six healthy seasons and has 29 career 100-yard rushing games, including three for more than 200 yards. The source concludes Taylor would be a game-changing back signed at a reasonable contract through 2028, not merely a rental, and would pay dividends beyond the remaining 10 games of the season.
