Giants Keep Thibodeaux, Trade Rumors Cool Down

0:00On March 25th, rumors about the New York Giants trading edge-resher Kavon Tivado have died down lately. The talk started after they picked Abdul Carter, third overall last year, but nothing has come of it so far. Tivado is entering his fifth year option in 2026, and the team sees him as a solid number three pass rusher. Reports from insiders like Dan Duggen say, there are no signs of a deal in the works. The Giants draft a Tivado fifth overall in 2022 as their general managers first choice. They could save nearly $15 million in salary-caf space by moving him before the season, but they did not rush to do so during early free. Agency General manager Joe Shone has made it clear, Tivado is staying put for now. He praised the player's motivation and said, you can never have too many good pass pressures. That said, the team would consider offers if the right deal comes along, maybe involving a player they need or solid draft picks, speculation points to media-fuel trade ideas that

Waiting for a possible compensatory pick years down the road might not be getting value now. For the Giants, keeping Tivado gives them edge rushing depth while they stay patient on any potential moves. Master update from NFL News Today, powered by AI.
