The New York Giants are encouraged to trade Kayvon Thibodeaux before the 2026 NFL season. This comes after the Giants already dealt Dexter Lawrence to the Cincinnati Bengals earlier in the offseason. ESPN's Aaron Schatz suggests that moving Thibodeaux, who is in the final year of his contract, could generate valuable draft capital. He notes that the Giants have options with rookie Arvell Reese and could adapt their defense accordingly. This move would also allow the team to avoid complications in the upcoming free agent market.
