A former top-five pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, the Oregon product started off his career in promising fashion, recording 11.5 sacks during his second year in the league. However, injuries limited the pass rusher to just 22 games over the past two seasons, and he&#8217;s currently buried on the Giants depth chart.<\/p>\n<p>Now entering the final year of his rookie contract, it&#8217;s hard to envision any way for Thibodeaux to see the field on a regular basis. Brian Burns and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/02\/17\/2025-nfl-draft-scouting-report-abdul-carter-penn-state\/\" target=\"_self\">former third-overall pick Abdul Carter<\/a> are ahead of him in the pecking order, and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2026\/02\/17\/2026-nfl-draft-scouting-report-arvell-reese\/\" target=\"_self\">first-round pick Arvell Reese<\/a> will fight for additional snaps. With this in mind, it&#8217;s easy to see why Kayvon Thibodeaux is a popular trade target.<\/p>\n<p>The New Orleans Saints reportedly tried to trade for Kayvon Thibodeuax during the 2026 NFL Draft, but\u00a0<a  href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/7236468\/2026\/04\/28\/new-york-giants-draft-board-rank-notebook\/?source=emp_shared_article&amp;unlocked_article_code=1.eVA.k8Gd.OAt2AMrE_dBb&amp;smid=ta-ios-share\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>The Athletic&#8217;s<\/em> Dan Duggan<\/a> reports the two sides were never close to a deal.

While nobody denies his raw potential, his injury history is worrisome, and he only has one season of high-level play on his resume.<\/p>\n<p>Pass rushers are important, and the Giants will likely hold on to Thibodeaux as a glorified insurance policy in case one of their other edge defenders suffers an injury. If New York is competitive, they&#8217;ll keep him for the season. However, if this is another losing campaign, look for them to trade him at the deadline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Giants did not trade Kayvon Thibodeaux during the 2026 NFL Draft, but they could deal him if they get the right offer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2376,"featured_media":273660,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":true,"sfio_embed_code":"<smartframe-embed customer-id=\"b0c95bc04383cef69c6b47df872135cf\" image-id=\"WmOB6bEfIfMJ\" style=\"width: 100%;max-width: 3553px;aspect-ratio: 3553\/2369\"><\/smartframe-embed><!-- https:\/\/smartframe.io\/embedding-support -->","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[36,28,20,6431],"tags":[9040,7307,7659],"class_list":["post-281248","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl-news","category-saints","category-giants","category-nfl-teams","tag-kayvon-thibodeaux","tag-new-york-giants-roster","tag-saints-featured"],"modified_by":"David Latham, Managing Editor","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281248","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2376"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=281248"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281248\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":281428,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281248\/revisions\/281428"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/273660"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=281248"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=281248"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=281248"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
