Saints and Giants in trade talks for Kayvon Thibodeaux

Trade talks are ongoing between the New Orleans Saints and the New York Giants for defensive player Kayvon Thibodeaux, who was selected 5th overall in the 2022 NFL Draft. Thibodeaux has only managed 8 sacks in the last two seasons due to injuries and performance decline. The Giants have exercised the fifth-year option for the 2026 season, and Thibodeaux's salary is around 14 million dollars. This high salary poses a financial challenge for the Saints. For the trade to happen, the Giants need to lower their asking price. Currently, a trade price around a 4th round draft pick is considered reasonable. If the trade goes through, it will be a move that brings both risks and opportunities for the Saints. Whether the Giants will lower their demands will become clear in the coming days.
