Could Seahawks become eventual destination for Giants' Kayvon Thibodeaux?

New York Giants outside linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux saw his goal of becoming a premier edge rusher in the NFL materialize in a noteworthy 2023 season, when he recorded 11. 5 sacks. The following two seasons in New York proved far less productive.

Rather than closing in on Giants great Michael Strahan’s single-season sacks record—which Thibodeaux had set out to break before the start of the 2024 campaign—he regressed, posting 5. 5 sacks in 2024 and 2. 5 in 2025.

Injuries sidelined Thibodeaux for five games in 2024 and seven in 2025. Still, Thibodeaux remains a player who exudes significant untapped potential. The Seattle Seahawks appear to have the culture needed to help Thibodeaux realize that potential beginning in 2026.

The Giants have engaged in trade talks regarding the California native this offseason, reportedly seeking a second-round pick . A change of scenery could be exactly what Thibodeaux needs, not only to contribute to a winning team but also to achieve his individual goals. Seattle boasts an elite defense featuring a pass rush that stifled opposing quarterbacks throughout the regular season and playoffs.
