Giants could be 'compelled' to trade Kayvon Thibodeaux for right offer
The New York Giants could reportedly be "compelled" to trade LB Kayvon Thibodeaux is the right offer were to come along.

" This reality could soon apply to standout edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux. Despite earlier indications that the Giants had no plans to move the 2022 first-round pick, veteran NFL insider Ian O'Connor suggested the team could be compelled to trade Thibodeaux if a compelling offer arrives.

With the Giants prioritizing roster flexibility and draft capital in a challenging salary-cap environment, Thibodeaux's contract situation and the depth at edge could make him a candidate for a deal. Schoen's willingness to listen underscores a pragmatic approach: No player is untouchable when it aligns with long-term team building.
