Kayvon Thibodeaux’s future with the New York Giants grew more uncertain on Thursday.
The Giants hold the fifth-year option on Thibodeaux, which would pay him $14.75 million for the 2026 season. They can exercise this option or explore trading the 25-year-old pass rusher.

In 2025, Thibodeaux recorded 2.5 sacks across 10 games (limited by a shoulder injury that ended his year early). Despite this down year, he remains a foundational piece of the Giants’ pass rush as a four-year veteran and former No. 5 overall pick.
However, the team is positioned to test the trade market this offseason.
SNY’s Connor Hughes reports that Thibodeaux is considered attainable for the right price, with other teams believing a deal is likely.
If the Giants move Thibodeaux, their front office could address needs elsewhere via trade or free agency. The team would still have strong options to lead the outside linebacker/edge group in 2026, including Brian Burns and rookie Abdul Carter.
