Giants Reject Kayvon Thibodeaux Trade Offers Amid Rebuild

The New York Giants have no plans to trade edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux ahead of the NFL trade deadline, despite receiving inquiries from other teams. The Giants have set a steep asking price of a first-round pick for Thibodeaux, which has deterred trade interest, and they value his presence on the roster as they aim to rebuild and finish the season strong. While the Giants are deep at the edge rusher position with players like Brian Burns and Abdul Carter, Thibodeaux remains a significant contributor and has a contract through 2026. Some analysts have proposed a trade scenario involving Thibodeaux moving to the Carolina Panthers in exchange for running back Chuba Hubbard and draft capital, especially considering the Giants' need for a running back after Cam Skattebo's season-ending injury. However, the Giants currently prefer to keep Thibodeaux, who at 24 years old could be part of their long-term plans, though a trade could be reconsidered next offseason. The Giants are balancing their rebuilding efforts with roster needs, but for now, Thibodeaux remains a key piece of their defense.
