Overview
- GM Joe Schoen said Thibodeaux is expected to be on the roster "right now," adding the Giants are not shopping him but will take calls after fielding interest at last year’s deadline.
- Combine reporting from SNY and ESPN says New York is listening to offers and many around the league expect a trade, though no deal is in place and no formal talks have been confirmed this offseason.
- Thibodeaux is on a fully guaranteed fifth‑year option worth about $14.75 million for 2026, a figure that could be cleared from the Giants’ books if he is moved before June 1.
- New York’s depth with Brian Burns and 2025 No. 3 pick Abdul Carter, coupled with Thibodeaux’s injuries and dip from an 11.5‑sack 2023 to eight sacks across 2024–2025, factors into the calculus.
- A deep edge market may limit return value, with estimates ranging from a third‑rounder to a late pick or a player swap, and reported speculative fits include the Chargers, Packers, Raiders, Lions, Patriots and Bears.
