EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The New York Giants and general manager Joe Schoen stayed pat at the trading deadline rather than risk future capital for a deal. Speaking minutes after the NFL’s deadline passed, Schoen said he was on the phone much of the day discussing deals. Because of injuries, the Giants had a need for wide receiver. However, Schoen said the price was too high to get one. The Giants are 6-2 heading into their bye week and have a shot at making the playoffs for the first time since 2016. Their next game is against Houston in two weeks.
