Overview

• ESPN analyst Seth Walder proposed trading Thibodeaux and a 2026 fifth-round pick to Green Bay in exchange for a 2026 second-round pick but no formal negotiations have been reported.
• The Packers ranked 26th in pass rush win rate last season with their existing group of Rashan Gary, Lukas Van Ness, Kingsley Enagbare and Barryn Sorrell struggling to generate pressure.
• Thibodeaux has recorded 21 sacks over three seasons with a 16% pass rush win rate, a performance viewed as average despite his age and draft pedigree.
• His team-friendly contract carries salaries of $1.1 million in 2025 and $14.8 million in 2026, making him an economical option compared to veteran edge rushers.
• The Giants already employ Brian Burns and rookie Abdul Carter and could use a second-round pick to reinforce other areas during their ongoing rebuild.
