One Big Cam Skattebo Concern Sparked Giants’ Trade Interest in Jonathan Taylor
The Giants have some concerns with fully trusting Cam Skattebo, which is why the've been linked to Colts RB Jonathan Taylor.
The New York Giants have been struggling with backfield inconsistency, as seen by running back Cam Skattebo fumbling four times in their first five games. Skattebo acknowledged his mistakes after a costly fumble in overtime during a 27-27 tie with the Washington Commanders. Following his poor performance against the New Orleans Saints, head coach John Harbaugh denied any punishment, but other sources suggest that Harbaugh's concerns about Skattebo's ball security may have caught the attention of the Giants' front office.
According to an NFL assistant general manager, the team is wary of Skattebo's reliability, even though he had a breakout game in a 27-21 win against the Houston Texans, rushing for a career-high 124 yards and a touchdown. The assistant believes that the Giants could acquire Jonathan Taylor, who is currently tied for the league lead in rushing touchdowns and is fifth in rushing yards, but the price would likely be too high for the team.
With the trade deadline approaching on November 10, Skattebo has only limited time to convince the front office to avoid pursuing Taylor.
