The New York Giants are one of the few teams in the NFL that entered the offseason without a need along the edge.
That's because New York has a solid trio at the position in Brian Burns, Abdul Carter and Kayvon Thibodeaux.
However, FanSided's Wynston Wilcox thinks that could change, as he labeled Thibodeaux as a trade candidate after the first wave of free agency.
"Thibodeaux might be a move closer to the start of the season, especially after the NFL Draft. He hasn’t quite panned out to be the player the Giants hoped. With that, they could move off of him. There’s more than enough teams that could take flier on him, which is why it’s realistic he gets moved," he said.
Thibodeaux has been the center of trade rumors this offseason, and it's not hard to see why.
The Oregon product has been a disappointment during his career, both because of injury and ineffectiveness when on the field. He's also entering the final year of his rookie contract and his future with Big Blue is looking bleak.
Despite his disappointing career, Thibodeaux is still young and there will be multiple teams sniffing around a possible trade for him in the hopes he can return to his 2023 form, when he posted a career-high 11.5 sacks.
Three teams that could have interest in such a trade are the San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots.
The Patriots lost K'Lavon Chaisson in free agency, and while they did sign Dre'Mont Jones, New England could still use more juice opposite Harold Landry.
San Francisco entered the offseason with multiple question marks along the edge. Not only is Nick Bosa returning from a torn ACL, but the Niners also need another starter opposite him.
In Seattle, the loss of Boye Mafe in free agency cut into the Seahawks' depth, so an addition at edge rusher in some form or fashion is likely.
