Seahawks trade rumor reveals Seattle’s interest in acquiring Giants’ $31 million first-round pick<\/a> originally appeared on The Sporting News<\/a>. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It appears that Cleveland Browns<\/a> star Defensive end Myles Garrett isn\u2019t the only defender the Seattle Seahawks<\/a> are interested in acquiring this offseason.<\/p>\n

Seahawks Forever\u2019s Dan Veins also reported that the 2026 Super Bowl winners have their sights set on<\/a> the New York Giants<\/a>\u2019 2022 first-round pick (No. 5 overall pick).<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know who John (Harbaugh) spoke with in the Giants front office, but (Kayvon) Thibodeaux is a serious trade target,\u201d Veins noted Friday.<\/p>\n

With trade chatter surrounding Thibodeaux intensifying lately, the Seahawks\u2019 rumored interest in the Oregon product could have come at a better time.<\/p>\n

Thibodeaux has struggled mightily to terrorize opposing quarterbacks the past two seasons, with the 25-year-old reaching a new low with the Giants in 2025-26 (he ended the year with 13 solo tackles, 12 assisted tackles, 2.5 sacks, zero forced fumbles, and an unimpressive 66 overall PFF grade.<\/p>\n

Although the Giants don\u2019t seem to be in a rush to wash their hands of Thibodeaux, the South Los Angeles, California native\u2019s inability to remain healthy and rush the passer adequately could motivate the franchise to accelerate the trade process.<\/p>\n

Of course, Garrett is undoubtedly a more captivating prize for a Seahawks squad looking to defend their Super Bowl title in 2026-27. However, Thibodeaux wouldn\u2019t be the worst alternative, as he\u2019s played elite-level football in the past and is capable of being a high-impact defender on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

For that reason, it isn\u2019t preposterous for Seattle to pursue him as their offseason continues to take shape.<\/p>\n
