    4/4 🧵 Performance is the reason this is even a conversation. He missed the final seven games last season with a shoulder injury, and after posting 11.5 sacks in 2023, he has just eight sacks across his last 22 games. Still, the article notes he’s become a better edge-setting run defender over time, so this isn’t a player whose value is only tied to sack totals. Bottom line: the Giants appear open to calls, but unless someone meets their price, Thibodeaux is staying put. 📎 Source

      3/4 🧵 The contract piece matters here. Thibodeaux is on his fifth-year option and carries a $14.75 million cap hit for 2026, so this is basically a walk-year decision point. The Giants reportedly want at least a third-round pick, and that seems to be the sticking point — there’s no sign anyone has actually paid that price. Translation: they’ll listen, but they’re not in a rush to sell low.

        2/4 🧵 The front office’s logic is pretty straightforward: they spent three years building the pass rush into the team’s backbone, and they’re not eager to blow it up overnight. Even with Abdul Carter and Brian Burns projecting as the starting edge duo, the Giants have reportedly been reluctant to move Thibodeaux. Teams have called since last season, but interest alone isn’t the same as a real offer.

          1/4 🧵 The Giants trading Dexter Lawrence didn’t make a Kayvon Thibodeaux deal more likely — it did the opposite. If your defensive identity is the pass rush, gutting two core pieces at once would be absurd. Right now, Thibodeaux looks more likely to stay than go.
