New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen has maintained that every player on the roster is available for the right price, a philosophy recently echoed by newly-hired head coach John Harbaugh, who said in a blunt assessment that “everybody’s tradeable.”
This reality could soon apply to standout edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux.
Despite earlier indications that the Giants had no plans to move the 2022 first-round pick, veteran NFL insider Ian O’Connor suggested the team could be compelled to trade Thibodeaux if a compelling offer arrives.
The former Oregon standout has shown flashes of dominance but has yet to deliver consistent Pro Bowl-level production amid the franchise’s ongoing rebuild.
With the Giants prioritizing roster flexibility and draft capital in a challenging salary-cap environment, Thibodeaux’s contract situation and the depth at edge could make him a candidate for a deal. Schoen’s willingness to listen underscores a pragmatic approach: No player is untouchable when it aligns with long-term team building.
While no active trade discussions have surfaced, the mere possibility highlights the fluid nature of NFL personnel decisions. For now, Thibodeaux remains a key part of New York’s defensive front, but the right package of picks or players might prompt a change.
