Fresh reporting confirms New York will keep its 2022 No. 5 pick, signaling a buyer posture before the Nov. 4 deadline.

Overview

  • Bleacher Report's James Palmer reported Thibodeaux is "not going anywhere," reinforcing earlier guidance to interested teams.
  • NFL Network reporting indicates the Giants have exercised Thibodeaux's option for 2026, maintaining team control through that season.
  • New York is pursuing wide receiver help to support rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart following season-altering injuries to Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo.
  • Despite a 2-6 start, multiple insiders describe the Giants as buyers rather than sellers heading into the trade window's final days.
  • Thibodeaux has logged 28 tackles and 2.5 sacks through eight games in 2025 and remains part of a pass-rush core with Brian Burns and Abdul Carter.
