From the article

Running back Jonathan Taylor was, of course, the player the Giants had targeted as a difference-maker for their offense — for this season and at least a couple of years to come. The Indianapolis Colts, though, chose to set a price tag no one, including the Giants, was willing to meet.

STACKED’s take

NeutralValue

Giants passed on Taylor; overpaying for aging RB deemed imprudent.

The Giants targeted Jonathan Taylor as a difference-maker for their offense, but the Colts set a price tag no one was willing to meet. Multiple teams offered a second-round pick and more, but the Colts wanted a blockbuster offer. The source notes Taylor would have made the Giants stronger immediately, but the Giants were correct to not overpay for a 27-year-old running back with high mileage, consistent with their prior decision not to overpay for a similar profile in free agency.
