Giants Confirm: No Trade for Thibodeaux

0:00It's April 27, NFL News. Today starts now, AI powered and always on. Giants fans can breed easy on those cave-antibido trade rumors. The team was never even close to dealing their fifth-year outside linebacker during last weekend's NFL draft. General manager Joe Shone straight up confirmed it in their post-first round presser, just saying, yep, when asked. Adam Schaefter killed the speculation for good on the Pat McAfee Show Monday. He said the Giants have no plans to move thibido right now. Their intention is to lock him in and build around him on defense this season. Tivados had a rocky start since being the fifth overall pick out of Oregon back in 2022. Injury slowed him down over his first four years, but he bounced back with 11.5 sacks last season. Now he's on that 14.7 million fifth-year option the last of his rookie deal. Earlier this month, there was a chat with the New Orleans Saints about a potential swap. But the Saints pivoted over the weekend, grabbing past Russia's Tyree Wilson from the

1:02Raiders instead. Bottom line, tivado stays put in New York for now. Things could shift later this summer, like they did with Michael Parsons last year. But the Giants are all in on him, anchoring their line.
