Overview
- After a 34-24 loss to the 49ers, Thibodeaux addressed speculation by saying, “I want to be here.”
- The Giants have rebuffed recent inquiries and previously indicated it would take a first-round pick to acquire him, according to multiple reports.
- New York exercised Thibodeaux’s fifth-year option, placing him under team control through 2026 at a figure reported around $14.7 million for that option year.
- Despite a 2-6 record and a defense ranked 28th in points allowed, the pass rush featuring Brian Burns and Thibodeaux remains one of the roster’s few strengths.
- Reports have linked the Colts and Patriots to edge help, and while other rushers have moved near the deadline, expectations point to no in-season deal for Thibodeaux before Tuesday’s 4 p.m. ET cutoff.
