Overview
- General manager Joe Schoen said Thibodeaux is with the team "right now" and noted the club will listen to inquiries as part of its job.
- ESPN reporting indicates multiple teams value Thibodeaux at a late Day 2 or early Day 3 draft pick, with a player-for-player swap also viewed as possible.
- Trading Thibodeaux would clear roughly $14.75 million in salary space for 2026, offering short-term roster flexibility.
- Thibodeaux logged 2.5 sacks in 10 games in 2025 before a shoulder injury, and he has 23.5 career sacks across four seasons.
- With Brian Burns under a long-term deal and 2025 first-rounder Abdul Carter in the fold, reporters view Thibodeaux as expendable, and speculative interest has been linked to the Bears, Bills and 49ers.
