New York Giants urged to trade for Colts DT Grover Stewart

As the NFL trade deadline approaches, the New York Giants are exploring options to bolster their defensive line. While running back and interior defensive lineman have been mentioned, many believe the team is most interested in securing a defensive tackle. FOX Sports has highlighted Indianapolis Colts DT Grover Stewart as the Giants' ideal target.

The Giants lack depth at defensive tackle, as their run defense has struggled, giving up 128.1 yards per game. Their current roster includes strong offensive players, but lacks reinforcements in the defensive line, particularly after injuries to LBs Brian Burns and Tremaine Edmunds. While Tennessee star DT Jeffery Simmons is the top choice, he is likely to cost a first-round pick, making him too expensive.

Stewart, at 33 years old, stands at 6-foot-4, 315 pounds, and could provide the necessary interior push for the Giants' defense at a more affordable cost. Other notable defensive tackles, Jeffery Simmons and DeForest Buckner, have already been traded ahead of the deadline, making Stewart a prime target for the Giants. With Buckner off the market and the Colts in a fire-sale mode, the Giants can target Stewart to bolster their defensive tackle depth and improve their run defense, providing additional depth to the middle of the line.
