New York Giants coach John Harbaugh confirmed he left a voice message for Tennessee Titans owner Amy Adams Strunk regarding a trade for star defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons. Simmons was subsequently traded to the Chicago Bears for multiple first-round picks. Harbaugh stated the Giants are "open for any call" and not bound by any secret agreements, emphasizing their willingness to explore all options.

The Giants have expressed interest in Simmons and Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, both expected to command high draft picks. With injuries to running backs Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy Jr., the team seeks to bolster its roster before the November 10 trade deadline. General manager Joe Schoen noted any move must balance short-term and long-term gains, especially given the Giants' limited 2027 draft picks.

Harbaugh, while supportive of aggressive moves, clarified that making trade calls is primarily Schoen's responsibility, as the team prepares for upcoming division games against the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders.
