The New York Giants are now considered less likely to trade star edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux following the blockbuster deal that sent defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence to the Cincinnati Bengals, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
The Giants had reportedly been receiving trade inquiries centered around Thibodeaux for the last several months. However, the landscape of the roster has shifted significantly following the departure of Lawrence. Per Rapoport, while sources say no one is ruling anything out entirely, a trade involving the former first-round selection is now viewed as unlikely.
Thibodeaux remains a focal point of the Giants defense. After moving one of their primary veteran leaders in Lawrence, the organization appears hesitant to part with another high-profile defender as they navigate their current roster strategy. This update provides clarity on Thibodeaux's status as the NFL trade market continues to evolve.
