2026 Projections
Signed a four-year, $31.34 million contract with the Giants in May of 2022. Giants exercised $14.75 million team option for 2026 in April of 2025.
Trade reportedly less likely
Following the trade of fellow key defender Dexter Lawrence, Thibodeaux (shoulder) is less likely to be moved by the Giants, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Giants have fielded trade calls regarding Thibodeaux for the last few months, but the departure of Lawrence presumably lessens the team's incentive to consider dealing Thibodeaux, the No. 5 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. The 25-year-old was limited to 10 regular-season games in 2025, but after finishing the campaign on IR due to a shoulder injury, Thibodeaux should be past the issue well before Week 1.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2022
Thibodeaux's 2024 campaign was by some measures a disappointment following his breakthrough 2023 season. The edge rusher's sack total fell from 11.5 to 5.5, and he missed five contests due to a wrist injury. The Giants bolstered their edge-rush unit during the offseason by signing veteran Chauncey Golston and drafting Abdul Carter, which could lead to less snaps for Thibodeaux. That said, the additions should also provide better matchups for Thibodeaux, so a big sack total is certainly possible.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Drew interest from New Orleans
The Saints showed the most interest in trading for Thibodeaux during draft weekend, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Giants already boasted a lot of elite talent at edge rusher and then selected Arvell Reese in the 2026 Draft after he was surprisingly available with the fifth overall pick. That seemingly made Thibodeaux very expendable, although the team denied any efforts to trade him. Duggan reports a trade with the Saints fell through after they offered a fourth-round pick, while the Giants were seeking a second-round selection.
