The New York Giants face an interesting situation entering the 2025 season as the current regime must have a win-now mindset despite coming off a 3-14 campaign.
So many decisions about the future won't be made until the season gets underway and the Giants can look at the direction of the franchise truly. This is especially true when it comes to potential players who may be traded during the upcoming campaign.
Throughout the offseason, edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux had been the subject of trade talks since it was reported that the Giants were targeting No. 3 overall pick Abdul Carter.
In a recent article about bold predictions at the NFL trade deadline, Brad Gagnon of Bleacher Report has the Giants sending Thibodeaux to the Detroit Lions.
If the Giants are still in the hunt to have a competitive record, it will be interesting to see what path they take. They could hold onto Thibodeaux, considering his fifth-year option for 2026 is already exercised. Or they could look to cash out before giving him a new deal.
A lot of this depends on the development of Carter as well. If the Penn State product bursts onto the scene and commands more snaps each week as the trade deadline approaches, the Giants may want to consider a deal that involves Thibodeaux.
In 2024, Thibodeaux put together a strong campaign despite finishing with only 5.5 sacks. His 42 total pressures were just six fewer than his career-high mark, and he was on pace for 59 total pressures had he played a full season, per Next Gen Stats.
Much of this is speculation at this point in the offseason, but once the season arrives, it will be interesting to see what happens with this narrative.
