The NFL trade deadline featured some big moves, but the Atlanta Falcons weren’t even considering moving superstar running back Bijan Robinson.

But, it wasn’t because of a lack of interest. According to Jordan Ranaan of ESPN, the New York Giants inquired about Robinson.

The Giants tried hard to make a deal. They even made a call to the Falcons on Bijan Robinson. All this and more on this week’s @BreakingBigBlue x @GiantsNationPod. https://t.co/LK8pi5EfeG https://t.co/JMQS9NjD8R

The Giants were also rumored to be an option for Indianapolis Colts star Jonathan Taylor, and Ranaan added that they explored plenty of other big names before Tuesday’s deadline.

On Wednesday, Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski was asked if moving Robinson was a possibility, and he had one word: “No.”

For starters, at least the Giants inquired about Robinson’s availability. On the other hand, it makes sense why Atlanta wants to hold on to the star running back.

Robinson was the 8th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, and he is coming off back-to-back 1,400-yard seasons. He already has 880 yards with 5 touchdowns in 9 games this year, so the former Texas Longhorns star is one of the best RBs in the league.

In the end, the Giants didn’t make a splashy move at the deadline, but they sure did make an effort.
