What happened: FOX Sports insider Jay Glazer reported that the New York Giants pulled their trade offer of a second- and fifth-round pick for Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor after Indianapolis held out for a larger package. Glazer also reported that the Baltimore Ravens will not trade running back Derrick Henry ahead of the deadline, with quarterback Lamar Jackson expecting to return from injury later this season. Elsewhere across the league, the Buffalo Bills are prioritizing secondary additions, while the Jacksonville Jaguars are exploring the defensive tackle market.
Why it matters: Taylor remaining in Indianapolis keeps contender backfields intact, while Baltimore keeping Henry preserves its offensive foundation alongside Jackson for a second-half AFC playoff push. Buffalo and Jacksonville seeking defensive reinforcements highlights how division leaders and contenders are addressing key injury voids before the window shuts.
What to watch: The NFL trade deadline arrives Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET as front offices finalize potential defensive deals and lock in active rosters.
