(Atlanta News First) — The 3-6 Atlanta Falcons came off as sellers at the trade deadline — despite being in the thick of a tight NFC South race — when they dealt safety Jesse Bates III to the Jacksonville Jaguars and center Ryan Neuzil to the Baltimore Ravens. But the team was reportedly asked about one of its marquee players ahead of the deadline, and a deal would’ve sent shockwaves through the league. According to ESPN’s Jordan Raanan , the New York Giants called the Falcons to ask about running back Bijan Robinson, the NFL’s leading rusher and a first-team All-Pro in 2025. "My excitement level would be based on who the player is. You get the right player, then you're really excited."

Robinson, however, has been deemed untouchable as the face of the Falcons’ franchise, according to numerous reports. The 24-year-old has 1,130 yards from scrimmage this season, second in the NFL behind only Detroit’s Jahmyr Gibbs, and signed a three-year, $66.8 million contract extension during the offseason.
