Giants Keep Thibodeaux, Focus on Future

0:00On April 20th, the New York Giants is stepping back from trading edge-rusher Kavon Tivado right after shipping nose-tackled Dexter Lawrence to. The Cincinnati Bengals, NFL Network's Ian Rappaport, says the deal for Lawrence, killed any real talk about moving Tivado. Earlier reports showed no serious momentum on a Tivado swap. Back in March, the Giants said they'd listen for the perfect offer, but they weren't shopping him hard. Tivado brings key depth to a line already stacked with Brian Burns and Abdul Carter. General manager Joe Shone notes every player has a price tag, but tight salary cap space makes holding onto talent smart right now. He's locked in through the 2026 season on his fifth year option with a $14.75 million cap hit. No standout bids have popped up yet. With the defensive front needing steady hands, expect Tivado to suit up in New York next season as the team builds patiently for the future. That's your NFL news today update.
