That could change, but the Thibodeaux market currently appears quiet.

Kayvon Thibodeaux | Getty Images All appears quiet for the New York Giants at the moment on the potential Kayvon Thibodeaux trade front. Rumors have swirled ever since the Giants made Abdul Carter the No. 3 pick in last year’s draft that the Giants could trade Thibodeaux, who will play 2026 on his fifth-year option.

To this point, nothing has materialized. Dan Duggan of The Athletic wrote Wednesday that there are “no indications” that the Giants will be trading the first player Joe Schoen ever drafted as a general manager. There have been no indications Thibodeaux will be moved; the belief remains the Giants are willing to move the 2022 first-round pick for the right package, but they aren’t looking to give him away.

The Giants can afford to be patient, as having a quality No. 3 edge rusher is a luxury. But if Thibodeaux can be turned into an asset, whether a draft pick or a player, and the move produces significant cap savings, that would be a favorable outcome.
