Despite a 1-7 start, the Giants didn't make any moves at Tuesday's trade deadline.

Head coach Joe Judge expressed confidence in his roster.

"We felt good about where we are," Judge said. "Obviously, there are a lot of phone calls that happen on days like this. We had a lot of calls coming in today for obviously a lot of players. But listen, there are some foundational pieces that we’re definitely looking to build with in this program."

According to Judge, the Giants didn't do much shopping with, really, anyone. Rather, they were "more active in taking calls than we were in making calls today."

"We had a lot of people calling about our guys," said Judge. "Obviously, we’re going to have conversations throughout the organization about anything, that’s our responsibility to do our due diligence. Make sure we’re doing the best for the team. Today was really kind of a busier day with people calling us and having some internal conversations more so than being overly active in that."

The Giants have been competitive in most of their games this season - despite being 1-4 in their last five games, their point differential in the last five weeks is just -13.

And that's why Judge wants to build a winning culture with the guys currently in his locker room.

"We’re happy with the way our players are working right now. We’re happy with the progress they’re making," said Judge. "This was a position right here that we want to keep building with this team right there. We want to keep building with the guys we have.

"We have a lot of confidence in the guys we have, and they’re hard work is paying off. There are a lot of calls that come in. Obviously, guys looking to fill positions they have of need. But for us, we’re not looking to go ahead and make anyone else’s roster for them."
