Despite drafting Ohio State DE Arvell Reese with the fifth-overall pick, the New York Giants do not intend to trade DE Kayvon Thibodeaux, according to Adam Schefter.
Thibodeaux has been the subject of trade speculation all off-season. It appears he’ll remain in New York, at least for now.
Thibodeaux, 25, was selected fifth overall by the Giants in the 2022 draft. He’s entering the final year of a four-year rookie deal worth $33.3 million that includes a $20 million signing bonus and is fully guaranteed.
The Giants picked up Thibodeaux’s fifth-year option and owe him over $14 million for the 2026 season.
In 2025, Thibodeaux appeared in 10 games for the Giants and made 10 starts, recording 25 tackles, 2.5 sacks and two pass defenses.
We’ll have more on the Thibodeaux as the news becomes available.
