It's almost time for NFL teams to put the pencils down for the trade deadline. That means it's also almost time for us to put our pencils down and get our final predictions in for what happens ahead of the trade deadline. So, we did just that. Ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, we surveyed people around the league to find out where some of the top players on the market will end up. Will the Indianapolis Colts trade Jonathan Taylor? Will the Dallas Cowboys land one of the handful of standout pass rushers believed to be on the trade market? We asked those questions as we made predictions for the trade deadline and share some other things we've heard about the trade market. Here's what we learned and what we think will happen before next Tuesday arrives. Ralph Vacchiano: One thing I know for sure is that the New York Giants really want him. Badly. The only question is how much they’re willing to pay. John Harbaugh was openly talking about adding a bell cow running back a few weeks ago, when he said, "I would love for us to be in that kind of a circumstance — a Derrick Henry circumstance or a Saquon Barkley circumstance." The 28-year-old Taylor is his best bet (Tennessee’s Tony Pollard might be their Plan B). The problem, as one executive told me, is, "No one is sure if Indy is serious about trading him. What they want is an extraordinarily high price." The word has been that they’re asking for a package like what the Carolina Panthers got from San Francisco for RB Christian McCaffrey in 2022 — a second-, third-, fourth- and fifth-round pick. But one source told me, "I heard they wanted a first in the package." The Giants are a little hamstrung by not having a fourth- or fifth-round pick in next year’s draft, so It’s possible they’d have to trade a first. Would they do it?…
