Giants, John Harbaugh urged to cut ties with $31 million star

John Harbaugh and the New York Giants may make another change.

Giants, John Harbaugh urged to cut ties with $31 million star

The New York Giants are considering a significant roster change before September, according to ESPN. The team is reportedly urged to let go of edge-rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux, who is set to become a free agent at the end of the season. Thibodeaux is currently under a $31 million, five-year contract with the Giants, and his presence would make them solid on the defensive line.

However, with the addition of first-round pick Arvell Reese, who can play both linebacker and edge, keeping Thibodeaux as their fourth edge rusher is seen as less than ideal. The Giants might find a more suitable trade partner who requires an edge rusher, has the cap room to absorb Thibodeaux's contract, and is a strong contender for the 2026 season.
