The NFL trade deadline this year turned out to be a very busy affair, with several blockbuster trades going down around the league. Among the things we learned is that the Philadelphia Eagles are in fire-sale mode, the Jacksonville Jaguars are all in on a Super Bowl this year and the Minnesota Vikings are deadly serious about competing in the NFC North.

One team that didn't make a big deal was the New York Giants, but apparently it wasn't for a lack of trying. According to beat reporter Jordan Raanan, the Giants trade hard to make a move to improve their roster - even calling the Atlanta Falcons about superstar running back Bijan Robinson.

It's legitimately funny that the Giants thought they might be able to pry Robinson free of the Falcons just a few months after they signed him to a three-year, $66.75 million extension.

It speaks to the desperation of the Giants - who are averaging 112.1 rushing yards per game, which ranks 17th in the league going into Week 10.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski was asked if trading Robinson was ever a possibility at his Wednesday press conference.

"No," Stefanski replied.

Just for giggles, what might it take to get Robinson? It's difficult to project his trade value given how well he's performing right now, but the conversation would have to start with two first-round picks - and probably wouldn't end there.
